Strange that you would complain about paying for a rim strip install, but be adamant against patching tubes. Whatever, it's your money.
I didn't know anything about rim strip. I thought it was much more $$. I got 2 shipped for $10. It's the principle. Also, I avg about 3/4 flats per year. I ride about 3,000 miles per year. But I've never had a wheel give me issues . Ironic, some people hate, hate Mavic. I had two sets and put over 15,000 miles on them. Not one issue. I buy these and bam...an issue. I don't patch because I've had two issues in the past. Where did you get so many patches for that cheap?
