I noticed.. But I would also bring a spare spoke or two along with some spare nipples. Alloy wouldn't be my first choice but like I mentioned above... A well built wheel is going to be better than a crappy built wheel so that is for ME the most important thing.
I have both alloy and brass nippled wheels..... They both work fine. Just have to make darn sure you have a quality spoke wrench. They tend to be very unforgiving if you don't...
