I had a set of A-spokes I rocked for a year and a half (even did a century on them and had no complaints). While they are VERY heavy and flexy I didn't mind, at the time, because I got used to them and thought of them as training, BUT once I change my wheelset to phils on OPs, I though something was wrong with my bike because of how much quicker it handled. I used to rep A-spokes but now see why they are mainly for show. While I do miss their look I don't miss their performance.

You should also skip Deep Vs too but base on your choices, it seems you are after looks and not performance. If so then do what makes you happy. I still think A-spokes look great though
