Well I lost the auction for the Phil 28 hole hub (I think I reconsidered actually) after reading several accounts of tacoed front wheels. Good thing anyway, the hub was not one of the newer FSA ones, rather an older, but NOS one. The ending price was somewhere in the neighborhood of $70. I'll settle for a brand new FSA front hub 32 holes for $85 at Lickton's. Gonna forego the 28 hole rim too and just stick with a Mavic F519 (I have several other wheels built with this outstanding rim) in a 32 hole. Thanks to all who contributed. I do have a bada$$ rear wheel to match with an FSA 32 hole w/a NOS 600 EX freewheel and F519 rim. My old skool Stumpjumper is gonna be stoked.
