the jets and stingers are not the same shape, the jet has a flat metal brake track and the stinger is all carbon and the braking area is part of the shape (just like older zipp tubies and new zipp clinchers and tubies)
the jet is also a fairing so the spokes enter through holes in the fairing along the side, rather than straight into the inside of the rim.
the stinger 'should' be a little faster...BUT..you can run a 19mm tire on the Jet, and you can't go lower than 22mm on the stinger without voiding your warranty.
so..
oh and the stinger is good bit lighter, might have saved me a few seconds at savageman but I wanted the metal braking surface so I had less chance of dying =)
