Bikes: Burley Duet [of some unknown year] (the guinea pig); 2001 Ventana ECDM (the project); And always one less than I think I really need.

"... How much difference in weight/strength does using 2.0-1.8-2.0 butted spokes like DT Comp really make compared to something like WheelMaster 14g stainless spokes..."

The straight gauge spokes are about 0.007191g heavier per mm than the double butted spokes... Double butted might save you 2oz on your wheelset.
