I've got an SMGTe fully spec'd like yours, and a lightweight Challenge Furai (24"). The SMGTe carries an 8kg penalty over the Furai, and at least 5 miles of my commute are climbing a fairly major set of hills.

Having done it for a year, I can honestly say the SMGTe is just as fast as the Furai. Its sturdy. Bombproof. Great at descending. Solid gear changes. Good brakes.

I don't know you'd see much improvement. As soon as the nights draw in or there's a chance of rain, I'm on the SMGTe every day.
