HED OR SRAM WHEELS

Thinking of buying a new pair of Aero Wheels.
I currently use the HED Ardennes which have the C2 rim, 23mm wide. My plan was to use the Ardennes for training and general riding and swap to an AERO wheel when I want to take part in a TT. Not worth buying a TT bike as I'm only likely to take part in 5 or 6 TT's a year.
I don't want to go down the TUB route as I just want the convenience of clinchers.
I've decided that my 2 best options are HED JET 6 wheels and SRAM S60 wheels. My questions are:
Are either of these wheels worth investing in, ie will they make a difference to my TT time? (currently averaging 24mph)
Which wheelset would you opt for if it was your cash?

If they are race wheels I would go for tubs, lighter, quicker and better handling0

Wish you hadn't posted that.
Now I'm looking at ZIPP tubs on the web and I don't think my wallet can take it, where's the credit card ?

You could buy the wheels iv'e got for sale
And they have a powertap

What a shameless plug that was, you should hang your head.
Nice wheels though, even though yellows not my thing.
If you promised not to send an invoice, I could just about stretch to that and my better half would never know.
Of course I'd then need to get a Powertap computer too !!!!There's warp speed - then there's Storck Speed0 -
I know it was a terrible plug, but you have to try!
If you were interested (i'm at it again!) the yellow bits are just stickers and can easily be removed.
Also if they don't sell on the ebay i'm going to remover the power tap hub to sell separately and then put a standard hub back in its place so they will be quite a bit cheaper, it would be a shame to do this mind as the powertap is such a handy bit of kit
And could always send two invoices, the real one and a wife friendly version 0
