Does anyone have data or even just an idea of the aero difference between Hed Jet 5 Express and Hed Jet 6 Plus?

Don't know the numbers but I run Jet 5 wheels on my road bike and they are great! Jet 5 and a Disc would be a nice combo for a windy course

The advertised difference between Flo 30 and Flo 60 is 17 seconds / 40K. I'd assume therefore the difference between Jet 5 and Jet 6 is much less than that.

Here are the charts from Hed for the 23mm wide Jet 4 and Jet 6 (I never saved the one for the Jet 5, but it should be right between these 2). Then compare it to the one for the Jet 6 Plus. I included the Jet 9 Plus also just because I have it.

I have both; the 5 is 23mm wide and the 6 is 25.
Both have awesome ride qualities; extremely smooth. Paired with the Specialized Turbo 24mm at 85psi, just fantastic!
I'm around 155lbs and the 6's do get blown around a lot more in crosswinds; I use the 6 plus the Hed 9 or Disc for races.
I use the 5's as an everyday wheel on the road bike or with the 9 on windier training days on the tri bike.
Hed no longer has the 5 listed on their site; shame.
Both wheelsets are on sale at competitive cyclist right now; wow, $1100 for the Hed 6 wheelset is a steal!
