Pro 2 Evo has different PCDs: left 56, right 54. You also have to consider the distance of the flanges from the centre of the hub: Hope - (l) 31.5, (r) 20.5; Superstar - (l) 34, (r) 23. No idea if you can reuse the spokes, but it's easy enough to put those numbers into DT Swiss' spoke calculator and see for yourself. Reuse the spokes if the differences are under 2mm.
That said, go for the Hope - seriously you are obsessing over a 83g difference. You are deluding yourself if you think 83g is gonna make any difference at all when you + clothing + bag + bike is gonna be 125kg, at best. 83g is 0.0664 percent of 125kg. Not 6.6 percent, not 0.66 percent, no, it's 0.0664 percent. Under seven-hundredth of a percent. Your hairdo of the day is going to affect your performance more, probably. Buy the Hope and be done with it.
