Correct, all things are not equal. But I do agree that the specific tire choice is more important than width per se. I disagree strongly with the recommendation of any version of the Marathon, even the Supreme. That is not a fast tire at all. I would look at something like a Conti Contact Sport, or perhaps one of the Panaracer tires in the desired size. The Panaracer Pasela and Pasela TG are available in 26", that would be my pick.
