Tubed vs Tubeless Clinchers

Which is best for training/racing??

Tubeless comes out slightly heavier at 290g than a light race tyre and latex tube 265g (ish)

Tubeless in theory should have less rolling resistance as there is no tube flex to overcome.

Cornering I think should be better with the tubeless as the spring force is acting on and spreading the tyre rather than the tube (I think...)

Both work out about the same price wise.... so which is better??

Got to do something to get rid of the Zaffiro boat anchors I'm riding at present (340g per tyre)
