The CC 40 is a perfectly good headset and will probably last the life of the bike. The CC 110 does have better sealing, and is made with some slightly better materials. If you are going to regularly ride in really nasty conditions -- rain, mud, dust -- the 110 might be worth it.
FWIW, the 110 in my main gravel bike has >27k trouble-free miles on it. One day I might even service it.
