So I guess, the generel opinion is, that if we are talking bearings, and the hubs and bearings are

1) properly adjusted, and

2) well serviced,

then the difference between decent and excellent hubs is minimal and no more than 1-2 watts?


That's only in reference to bearing drag. Other things, like wheel stiffness, bearing life, et al. vary considerably.
