Or Sapim Force
DT are fatter at the elbow, about 15% more cross sectional area. If Sapim were significantly cheaper or easier to get hold of, they would be an acceptable second best, but they aren't.

what about DT Competition? Too lightweight?

I have Sapim force spokes in 1mm increments. A 2.3mm elbow really needs a 2.6mm spoke hole. You will probably crack a DA hub in time with the alpine III. done many DA hubs with force spokes and they all seem fine.
I need to start buying silver Force but the cost is enormous for 1mm increments from 270mm to 304mm.

Or Sapim Force if you prefer your spokes Belgian rather than Swiss.
