Replace stock RS10 P2C wheels with RS20. Opinions?
I just purchased a P2C and it came with Shimano RS10 wheels. I am thinking about replacing the RS10 with RS20 wheels for training. Does not seem to be much of a price difference. The RS10 spokes are not aero and the RS20 does have aero spokes.
Like to get opinion. Not sure if the LBS will do the exchange for difference in MSRP now that I had the bike for a day but worth asking.

For triathlon, upgrading the wheels doesn't make much difference until you buy wheels that have a truly "aero" rim, like the Zipp 404s or other 50mm+ rim designs. I would recommend either saving your money for some truly aero wheels, or spending the money on an aero helmet or an aerodynamic tri-suit.
