let me take this a step further and see if anyone can estimate quantitative data.

I have a wheelset with fusion rims, circus monkey hubs and 32 spokes. they weigh in at 1575grams. to me that is light cuz i'm a clyde and I have another wheeset that is 2200 grams. What kind of performance improvement could i expect going to something like a 88mm carbon tubular rim 20/24 spokes? and for the sake of argument lets say they weighed the same just the profile changed to 88mm from 27?

The reason i ask is that as I do research on stuff it seems like I can go with some deeper carbon tubulars and go lower spoke count and get really light wheelsets that will still be clyde friendly. I'm not afraid of taiwan carbon, too many good experiences my self with a couple of items and a lot of research tells me the particular supplier i'm considering has a solid rep. I'm just wondering do aero spokes make that much of a difference vs a dt comp/ revolution? keeping cost down is also a big part of this and going with bladed spokes definately pops the price up.
