Yeah the twisted spoke pattern is supposed to be hell on the spokes where they mee the rim. If you believe master wheelbuilder Gerd Schraner, most people who lace a wheel that way only do it once, since the spokes are more prone to break than on, say, a 3x pattern.
Still, they are a bit unique looking, and, increasingly, unique can be a good thing.
