Regardless of thread drift it's quite possible the OP may want this other info, so I see nothing wrong with showing other spoke manufactures and the weights.

There are other lighter spokes on the market, however most other brands have proven to be unreliable, the only real reliable ones with a long history of such is DT, Wheelsmith, and Sapim; not to mean that the others are all going to break but there has been some recorded incidences of failures with other brands and since those other brands sell far less spokes then the big 3 that would mean that has a whole the fail rate by percentage is high.
