Tried searching, but didn't see a similar comparo, hence my post.

What would be the comments for the above wheels in terms of

1. Cross wind
2. Aero

Weight wise I see that the 1.45 is the lightest, about 130g lighter compared to the 3.4. However, I believe that the 3.4 is more "aero" as it's a newer design.

Reason for my post is because I can get a good deal for 1.45 at a significant discount over the 3.4 (comparing both with the same hubs eg dt240s / ck45) ....

The 1.45 is the same shape as the classic 45. The SES 3.4 will be a fraction more aero, quite a bit better in crosswinds and have better braking. It'll also work better with 25 tyres than the 1.45s would.
