If you think it might help you and are ready to deal with the consequences - go for it, and don't mind the purists.
I was worried more about truing later than what anyone would think.

Around 130kgf seems to be the sweet spot for me.
This is exactly the sort of information that is really helpful to me. I read 100kgf on this site actually, but it is good to know that is probably too low. I my rebuild the wheel with those 2.0/1.5/2.0 spokes on the non-drive side and then tension the wheel to 130kgf on the drive side. I would really like to come up with a bullet proof OpenPro solution for my commute.
Thanks to everyone that had constructive input about my problem.
