For those not racing. The feeling of being able to maintain pace with slightly less effort. Is less detectable than the feeling of being able to accelerate quicker. Its especially noticable, as we non-racers will vary our pace more. Call all it smile factor.
So if you ride purly for smiles, lighter beats aero.
If you ride to compete, aero beats lightness.
