Upgrading to double-wall rims?

So I'm considering the Kona Dew as my all-weather commuter.

I'm 5'11" and 205 lbs--and usually carry all my gear (laptop, change of clothes, books) in a messenger bag that probably puts me closer to 220 lbs or beyond. (Actually, I wonder how much all my cargo weighs.)

Anyways, it is worth upgrading $100 to the Dew Plus which has Rigida ZAC19SL double-wall rims from the regular Dew's Rigida Cyber 10 single-wall rims (or the Alex ZC1000's on the '07 Dew)? It's not like I've got an extra 100 bucks just sitting around (and the Plus' disc brakes aren't really much of a selling feature to me), but I'd also rather not be spending my time having my damn wheels trued when I could be riding!

Thanks.
