This is an excellent example of the complete and sound replies you get in these forum, well done!

A bit in addition, be sure the wheel you select at the lbs as your example has been trued / tensioned, time constraints sometimes dictate a wheel doesn't get tensioned / trued until it is sold. Also, the wheel seller, if local source, should offer a free check-up after a short break in period. Is that an option?
