Not stronger but more durable.
I can attest to this. I've been building my own wheels for <mumble> years and since I switched to tripple swaged spokes (DT Swiss Alpine_III) my wheels have improved 200%.
They stay in true for just about ever, can hanlde much harder landings without taco'ing, and build up tighter, easier.
