I recently paid $72 for 72 spokes, so your LBS charged you for the spokes and no labor. They could have easily charged you $30-50 in labor since replacing all spokes is equivalent to building a new wheel. You've got a great LBS. Hope the new wheel/spokes works well for you.

It felt great. I don't know if it was my imagination, but I don't think so. The bike felt so good. It's heavier with the thicker spokes and knobby tires, but it feels like it cranks better and stronger. I didn't want to stop riding.
