I love to buy new stuff and seriously looked at TPU, but the marginal gain seems to be about the same as wearing a smaller watch or taking my house keys off the ring.

Maybe if I were competing in the world champs.
The Revoloop Ultra is 11.0 watts. The Conti Race28 Light is 11.6 watts. A difference of 0.6 watts.

Revoloop...
Lower RR: yes.
Lower weight: yes.
More compact in saddle bag: yes.
Higher cost: yes.
Less durability: debatable.
