Zipp 606 or 404?

Alright I have a pair of Zipp 606's. I am doing a lot of road racing. I want a pair of wheels with better acceleration, and that are a little lighter. Do you think I would possibly be able to trade somebody a 2005 zipp 808 rear wheel for a 2005 or 2006 zipp 404 rear wheel? Or since the 606's are legal for road racing, should I keep them?

thanks

I doubt that there would be very much difference between a 808 back and a 404 back in pack riding. Unless you are doing a lot of hills and mad sprints and then maybe 303's or something would be better.

I doubt much diff, maybe some spin up for a crit? Anyway, I'm game! I have some 404s (tubulars) that have never been crashed and are near perfect :)
