Is a rebuild worth it though. I recently had to buy a new rear wheel because mine wouldn't true any more. It was Shimano XTR (I think) and that is what I replaced it with ($150US). I asked about rebuilding, and my LBS said that would cost more than the $150US.
I was quoted $80 for spokes,nipples and labor by a guy that really knows what he is doing. I got a cheap rebuild done by a moron that used the wrong length spokes and dished the rear wheel backwards...LOL.

Agree getting a trouble-free wheel is a lot more important than just finding a low-price. I went to an LBS with a good rep here last year and paid $100 each, but that included new MA-3 rims in addition to the spokes and nipples.
