What wheels do you have?? No point having aero cranks with shallow rim wheels... You may even want a disc depending on the amount of corners, technical aspects of the course, and the prevailing winds. I agree - cranks are a long way down the list of things to spend money on to make aero improvement...

I want to keep high cadence to save legs for a marathon that follows the time trial.

Thanks othy I want to focus on my lower end because in my current setup 53/39, (don't know the cassette), I find that my cadence drops below 60 when doing any reasonably serious climb, even when I am in the lowest gear. If I will change to compact 50/34, will it increase cadence in the lowest gear?...

If you are happy with the crankset on your current bike I would go with that. I switched from a compact (50/34) to a standard (53/39) and find it has a much better top end and more usuable bottom, as I never went to my smallest gear but would often find myself at the top. The cassette can be changed...
