Deep Aero Wheels VS what I´ve got

Hi. I am thinking of buying a pair of deep aero wheels to use during training. But I have never tried this kind of wheels and am not sure if it is worth the investment. My intended use is for TT training on my road bike. I regularly train at a stretch of road that is about 12km long. It is not completely flat, but there is no long descends or ascends and in each end there is a roundabout. What I am hoping for is for them to be faster and better at maintaining speed and that it will be a different ride feel to them.

I currently own a pair of Enve 3.4. The wheels I have been looking at are the Hed 6.7 or something similar.

Thanks for any advice!

    Sorry, Hed Jet 6.9, not 6.7

    If you race TTs or Tri then the Hed Jet+ are amazing and well worth it. If you don't then stick to the ENVEs unless you want better braking in the wet.

    Why deep wheels to use for training ?

    Racing them I could understand - but training ? Put me down in the 'not worth it' camp.
