I am curious about getting new wheels and willing to spend the money on the 808 NSWs, but realize that I ride fairly slow at about 20 mph on longer courses, that it probably isn't the wisest choice for my money. I was thinking that maybe money better spent on 808 FCs with a ceramic bearing upgrade? Will ceramic bearings in 808 FCs give me more gains that the NSWs?

Get the FC 808s and forget about the ceramic bearings.

bike fit
wind tunnel or aerodrome testing
swim stroke analysis
monthly coaching
all of these are like 1000x better than any returns that ceramic bearings give you. they're snake oil for the most part.
Used 808FC clinchers or even better, HED Jet+ wheels will be just fine for you.

Don't waste the money on Ceramic bearings for Zipp wheels. If you want the NSWs, get them.

Haven't done wind tunnel or aerodrome testing, but have the rest. Seems the consensus is 808 FCs
