That sounds like a tremendous waste of money. Do you need a power meter? save your money by keeping the 404s and buy a power meter if you need it

I looked up the difference in weight and the clinchers are only about a 120-130 gram difference. I just can't see how the ENVEs would make much if any difference.
If you want a wheel improvement get a disc and run it with your 404 front. Or get a powermeter. Or get both. Wheel weight, and bike weight, in general, do not matter on the majority of triathlon courses. You'd have to have a mountain top finish with no downhills for it to matter even a little over aero improvements. LP and IM length go as aero as possible. For IM getting your gearing matched to your riding ability also ranks right up there with aero.
