Revolutions also come in 1.8/1.5, usually front only spokes?

I just had to make this decision for myself. I weigh about 190 lbs. and have open pro's with a 32 h Phil. I went with 14/15 competition spokes. If I was racing I would go with the rev's, otherwise I can't justify the cost increase.
They're not that much more expensive...

Windup supposedly happens when you're really cranking hard. The hub turns inside the rims, the spokes stretch, and then the rims catch up. If you like to imagine concepts in extremes like myself, imagine having rubber bands for spokes. In other words, did it feel like the wheel couldn't handle all the power you were putting out?

Thanks.
