Quite the opposite in fact. I build with Alchemy because they make much more sense value wise than Shimano or Campy. Not to mention you're not as limited by spoke drillings like you are with Shimano and Campy.
On top of that the Alchemy ELF flange spacing is much wider and the flange is thicker giving it a much stiffer buildup.
DT is outrageous price wise - even at wholesale.
