Has anyone tried the Dura Ace 9000 C24 vs C35 Wheels?

Hi,
I've spent ages looking on the internet for comparisons between the Dura ace 9000 C24 and C35
It's hard to even find a proper weight for the 9000 C35 wheels (the weight quoted by wiggle is wrong).
The latest C35 seem to have the latest rear spoke lacing, a slight aero benefit, slightly stiffer and with a little more weight out at the rim should hold speed slightly better without much weight penalty. I think only 100g more than the C24's.
I enjoy hills so spend quite a bit of time climbing but then also like to get out for fast flat out blasts. Don't really want two wheelsets.
Do you think the C35 will be a good compromise a nice all round wheel or a wheel that's not great at anything? do you think there's any notable advantage in the C35's or should I just go for the C24's that reviews seem to say are quite aero considering the low profile?!?
I can't decide which to go for C24's or C35's. Argh!
Any comments on the latest DA wheels would be appreciated, not interested in handbuilds thanks.

I've got the c24's, never ridden the 35's so can't compare. Only thing I would say is that i find the c24's excellent, nice feelmtomthem, climb very well and put the power down nicely. I'm 77kg btw.0

I ve had the older 7900 C35 carbon tubs and the c24 CLs and ride quality - of the tubular - aside there is no aero difference @ 35mm its not enough for any aero effect, your talking 9mm.
the 9000's are virtually the same, slight weight difference and 11sp.
Have a look at mavic if you want a factory whl that can at least be repaired.0 -
thanks for replies so far,
So I may notice the lesser weight of the 24 but no aero advantage of the c35... The c24s are cheaper but the c35's do look sweet and have the latest spoke lacing etc.
Ok to open the topic up a bit, just would I notice any difference in performance between 24 vs 35 deep wheels, not necessarily shimano?0 -
There's bugger all real world difference. Just buy the ones you like the look of best
