Understood, I guess I need to make some decisions about which I am looking for, as unless I want to spend big money I assume I can't get aero/weight all in one package. This thread seems to be diverting from the original topic, so I'll save the wheel discussion for another time. Thanks to everyone for their input, I am going to check on my finances and attempt to move forward on buying the new bike. Even if there arent huge explicit performance benefits from upgrading, I sure will want to ride a nice new bike and that'll improve me as a rider regardless!
If anyone has more input on the subject, I am very open to suggestions as well!
