Can't go wrong with zipp 1080 or 808 in the front either depending on crosswinds.
But: these things are heavier than shallow rimmed wheels.
Some of you guys are mentioning disc wheel. But I'm into road racing, so I discard it. Although it is good to learn about it. Thanks.

That's the point, I'm not a pro but I'm trying to learn when to use the deeper rear wheel, and also finding myself a reason to buy one

Yes sure, I agree. What I'm trying to get here is the benefits of a deeper rear wheel. What about accelerating, is it better or not? When sprinting, how does it feel?
