My 10c . Since you have mainly flat rides, sell the 12-25 and get am 11-23 for both wheels. The difference in price will be negligable and you will have a familiar setup for training and on race day.

I'll support Notsofast on this on. Bear in however, that if you get sucked into doing some event hilly...you may have to spring for the bigger cogs.

I need some help with my wheel set up and cassette choice. I need to replace the cassette on my training wheels I have been thinking about making a cassette change. Here is what I use:
WHEELS
Race - Mavic Cosmic Carbone (currently using 12-25)
Training - Bontrager Race Lite (need cassette)
CHAINRING
Ultegra 53/39
Most of my rides are flat, but I do some shorter hill training during the winter months. I have been using a 12-25 on both sets of wheels but don't use most of the inside or outside gears.
I have a new 11-23 and was thinking about putting it on my race wheels and using the 12-25 for training.
My races on mostly flat with some short rolling hills, nothing requiring much climbing.
What do you think the benefits and weakness of this possible set-up?
Thanks in advance.
