Fair enough. Just saying that if you would like to use the Revolutions on the DS, just take off the 2 mm from the calculated length. They are plenty tough enough to take the higher tension; it is just the stretch that can cause you a problem. Solve that issue, and you're golden. No reason not to use them all over the build.
But the way, I tension my front spokes the same as my DS rear, about 120 kgF. Never had a problem with too much stretch there either.
