• Thanks.

    Bar weight loss (which would be minimal and doesn't bother me) the differential spokes offers no benefit then?

    Having fewer crossings (limit = 0 i.e. radial) improves the spoke bracing angle.

    Does this mean it makes the DS bracing angle closer to the NDS angle and therefore a better tension balance or do I misunderstand this?

    Sorry for the many questions.

    Yes, if you have fewer crossing on the DS than the NDS of a dished wheel, the tension balance is marginally improved. It's a pretty small change though, and not really worth the trouble. If your wheel is running so close to its limits that tension balance is a big problem, you should be looking to redesign completely rather than messing about at the margins.
