I'm concerned about tensioning up only 2 spokes, then using those two spokes as a reference for the whole wheel. When you tighten the other spokes to match, the original two spokes will get higher in pitch, which could make the whole wheel overtensioned. Check the wheel again when you get your meter- Alu nipples are not as strong as brass, and overtensioning can make them fail easier.
