Well, Alot of good replies from all of you here.
Very close to what Ajax suggested, my new tires are actually Vittoria Zaffiro Pro 32c;
I was hoping for replies somewhere between drawing from first-hand experience and factual debate, thankfully I have that all from you guys, as opposed to only Banjos forward answer.
Shaun, StuAff, Provided interesting insight in-particular
I've done 40 miles on these tires and they open up a range of options; they give off an adventurous feel that doesn't restrict me to stay on just roads.
They're alot more fun too, I'm worrying less about potholes (Which are a big problem here) and worrying less about going on main roads - because I can use tow paths past them.
They do not feel compromised either, as I was worried, they do not sacrifice the same amount of speed as they give in joy.
I spent alot of time choosing my tires, I wanted something that had the same tread-pattern as my Rubino pro tires (Which; i found work really well with the roads here) but something that had a lower TPI so they could stop getting cut to high-heck offroad. - With width past 28c .

These are the ones I found; they're on sale now for £11.95 Ea which is Very Cheap considering the quality, they're also very puncture resistant too.
They're also quite light, all-in-all I'm only 150 Grams (per wheel) heavier from my 700x25 with light 50g Innertubes.
This was helped by coupling my new tires with some vittoria light-innertubes that are 100 grams each for a size that accommodates my tire.
All-in-All I can not return to 25c at any point, I can say that they win entirely over a 25c - a 28c has the same qualities of the 32c, but, i'm looking to go slightly offroad and i'm a heavier rider, so they just help that little bit more over the 28.
So yes, my question was
"From a Road Bike Perspective - Does a 700x32c tyre bias comfort too much over speed? or is there little difference between either comfort or speed in relation to a 700x28c tyre of the same kind."
and with that in mind, I don't feel any speed penalty for all the joy it gives, - But, that said, the tires I did choose are more important than the width, you can get harder rolling, heavier 32c tires that I'm sure would give a speed penalty in terms of feel - So its important to find a good tire -a Good 32c tire can easily outperform a poor quality 28/25c tire in every single category.
