Well it sounds like it is all about comfort and reliability for you. The main thing is that you have fun and stay safe while you ride. Ultimately, your own conditioning will determine speed and distance. You would be surprised how little the rest odes or doesn't do for you in terms of speed. With a lighter vehicle with high pressure tires you can generally feel a little bit better with maybe slightly higher average speed and better performance on the hills. Keep riding.
