My guess is that Enve will sell plenty of these wheels to your readers and to other triathletes. 60mm is plenty deep for the most triathletes I would think, esp whose who feel like they get blown around with a deeper wheel.
Enve seem to admit that deeper rim sections are indeed faster, but they argue that the additional weight offset the small aero gains. I think most of us here would take the aero gains despite a few more grams in the rim, but I think that the "real world" advantage for most riders is the increased confidence they'll have with a shallower wheel
From Enve website: "Once a rim goes beyond the 70mm depth, aero efficiency rapidly tapers off and the additional weight quickly begins to neutralize the marginal aero gains that the deeper rim provides. These are the learnings from more than a decade pursuing the ultimate Real-World Fast aero wheelset."
Personally I found the 7.8s to handle wind just fine - then again, here in SoCal while we get some wind from time to time, it's not typically too bad.
