Will I really feel that much increase in comfort with the 2.00?
Comfort comes from two things: 1) supple side walls 2) lower pressure because you have more air to support the same weight...so yes the 2.0" BAs inflated correctly:

There is considerably more air volume in the BAs even with only a 0.25" width difference and they should be more supple than the stock tires.
