Thanks again for the replies and input.
I went with Schwalbe Marathon Supremes in the 28mm, even though 32mm was available.
It's hard to say with only 40 miles in and keeping the same tire I had already on the rear (I was somewhat eager just to try it and ease into it as opposed to changing both), but I don't notice any negatives regarding the concerns I had with comfort. It also seemed a little bit faster regarding my top speeds and I have no regrets currently.
If you are indeed interested in the Schwalbe One's, although it seems too good to be true (my tires were both in good shape and came here very quickly, free shipping) and if the prices were what they are now, I would have picked some up , there is a smaller online shop that has only a few brands, but a decent selection, including Schwalbe. There is a small discount as well for purchases above two price levels. I feel semi-paranoid now having posted a message that included information regarding a good deal for a product on a (different) website (maybe they were just pretentious) but they deleted my post and appeared to at least suspend my account. I doubt that would happen here though, but just to be cautious.
If you are interested, let me know, and I can PM you.
