What are the benefits of moving from say a 60mm rear rim. To a 88mm one?
There's only about 2W at 50km/h between a 404 and and 808 on the front, it will be even less on the rear.
I wouldn't even go 60/60 on something which was my only road wheel, 60mm can be a handful as front wheel if it's windy.

Depends on the bike. The dude from HED said with superbikes that shield the rear, rolling resistance is more important to consider than aero. Wheel aero is 70/30 front/rear whereas rolling resistance is 70/30 rear/front. So, my answer is obviously, "dunno" but probably "not much".

Trying to decide between the two pictured. It'd be With a 60mm front, and my only road wheelset. Which I'd use for mountain Climbs, road races, and tri's.
To be honest I tempted just to stick to 60/60, Seems to be a good middle ground. But if there's a real benefit to the 88 for only around 40g of weight penalty. I could be swayed.
