Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

We're debating meaningless subtleties here. The issue is that the OP would need 2.2mm spokes in order to cut standard 2mm spoke threads that are rolled onto a 2mm spoke. It isn't a matter of choice, so any debate into strength issues are moot.
