Leeway in spoke length?
I bought a Shimano dynamo hub, 3N72, and a pair of XM317 rims. The spoke calculator says that I need 261.2 spokes for the front wheel. When I plug my Deore LX rear hub in I get 264 for the right and 265.6 for the left.

What I want to know is if I can use the same 262 or 264 spokes for all of these. They are a lot cheaper in bulk.
