I have a Team Soloist which I have been using for the Sprint and Oly distance tris with Zipp 404's.
I have an opportunity to sell it and buy a new P2C for a grand more.
How much time difference you think will be(if any) in a Half Iron distance everything else being equal??(wattage,wheels,helmet etc is the same)
Thanks for the input..

are you riding w/aerobars?
if so, i'd guess the bulk of the difference would depend on how often you shift (assuming you're using aerobars but have the shifters on the drops).

the rest, it seems to me, is a matter of seconds, not minutes. but i'm no expert on this stuff.

Unless you change your position you will gain very little.
If you are able to use the P2C to alter your body position for lower drag without overly compromising your power then you will be faster, the gain depends on the degree of change.
