I think it is a tough question to answer. I would ride a TT with power in neither situation which you attempt to compare. Probably somewhere in between.

My question still remains does anyone think 100's of small corrective accelerations to get back up to your target power more fatiguing than just going on PE and holding a constant speed.
of course making 100's of small corrections is going to affect you. It's about the best possible thing to do ....... if you want to go slowly!!!!!!! Conserve that kinetic energy ...

I'm a big fan of PM's but, other than the 1st few minutes of a TT, my live power display is covered (loop of electrical tape on the SRM display).

Repeat after me: Vo2max is not threshold, Vo2max is not threshold, Vo2max is not threshold ....
