I did this last year, didn't help a bit. They're pretty useless if you don't have the balls to use them, given that on a road bike you're giving up all simple braking and (heaven forbid) gear changing in favour of a less stable position. For us real slow ones (23mph ave is more MOP from where I watch) some time to get used to them and getting comfy changing position to reach the STI's comes in useful.
I think you should say "Competently and confidently using clip-on tribars on a road bike should be worth about 1 minute in a 10m TT at your pace"
When do we get to start discussing which foot it's best to start with? ;)
