Yeah, they were big on properly tensioning the spokes where I went (Sports Basement in Sunnyvale). Looks like I'll end up paying a smidge more than Bicycle Wheel Warehouse for the convenience of having it done local, but not an excessive amount.

But, yeah, my thought was that, given the front wheel doesn't need to be dished or anything, I might as well just get a proper truing stand, a spoke tension tool, and the Jobst Brandt book and give it a shot and thus *know* that I'll be riding on a properly tensioned set of wheels. OTOH, if a properly tensioned set of wheels isn't going to require all that crap, maybe I should just have 'em do it.....
