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.

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.
