IMO if you're going further than 5 miles fixed > singlespeed my legs need the slack.
Love the setup. I commute 5.5 miles one way on a Casseroll fixed at 48/19. The rest is stock with some old SPDs.
Is your seat/bar tape green or black? I have been contemplating going Brooks green when I order my bullhorns. Also looking at racks; may go with Aluminum or something with a wood base.
