They you're aiming to fix what ain't broke.


Which is fine, as a hobby.


Just don't expect much of a wow-factor when going from "good enough" to "presumably better".
An unbroken spoke can't get any unbrokener.


An alternating heads-in/out radial build would be very similar to a crossed build WRT lateral stiffness.
In a lab setting, it'd probably read as a tiny bit stiffer due to the shorter spokes being used.
