I built a pair of the nisi/gipiemme for a customer and I dont remember the welds to be that bad
And I doubt it can be way worst than mavic welds by example
As a wheelbuilder I dont recommand using alloy nipple if you want your wheels to be durable. If you're not against rebuilding them every 2 to 5 years then go for the little extra gain
If you are light rider you can lower the count of spokes with kinlin/mavic rims to. Something like 20/24. If you're not that light you might feel the wheels a little less rigid. And you're losing the full siver rims idea
