Assessing a wheel after shifting the chain into spokes

A seller has an Easton Orion II wheelset for a great price...for good reason. He says the chain shifted into the spokes but that the wheel was repaired and is true. I don't know how much damage an accident like that does. I don't own a tensiometer so I'd be taking him at his word that the repair was done correctly. If I buy them they'd be used for weekend rides on steep grades...long climbs and fast descents.
Should the wheel be reliable if damaged spokes were replaced and properly tensioned?
Is this a great buy or a maintenance headache in the making?
