machine-built wheels are fine although typically I'd rather have a human mechanic "top it off" by optimizing true/tension. I'd consider this "mostly-machine-assembled."
as BCRider says, don't get a new wheel, just replace the spoke and get the tension optimized by the mechanic. will cost you a lot less.

While $200 hand-built wheels are certainly nice, I don't think you need it.
