10 years ago or so I bought some machine built Open Pros on Ultegra hubs for cheap on Nashbar. Terrible tension out of the box and they went out 100 miles but I took them to my LBS and had them tension and true them. Bombproof and true for 1000s of miles after that.
Now, the wheel machines are so much better.
