^^ Totally agree with Regal, having equal tension from a non-dished wheel (or minimal) will build up loads stronger and both those spokes are triple butted to specifically be thicker at the weakest point of the spoke, the bend at the head where it comes through the hub flange.
Edit: the SAPIM Force is triple butted at - 2.18 - 1.8 - 2.0 mm
And DT Swiss Alpine III is triple butted to - 2.34 - 1.8 - 2.0 mm
