I went ahead and ordered the Unior nipple starter and it arrived here yesterday. Looks promising. Don't know yet if it'll function better than my DIY bent spoke started ala Wiz & Mad Honk. Seems the bigger problem is getting my hands on some nipples. After coming up empty with a host of LBS's across 2 counties, I ordered a batch a week ago, but they've been languishing in the USPS center in Philadelphia going nowhere since the 5th. Who knows when or if they'll materialize. Not surprising under the circumstances, but annoying just the same.
