You sound EXACTLY like me. I got the road bike and I love it. I do however miss jumping curbs, riding down steps, catching air here and there etc. Riding in the Urban area isn't as fun...that was until I started riding IN traffic...that's fun stuff! The speed of the Road Bike is fun though. Just don't get rid of your MTB so that you have it when you wanna go down town and jump some curbs.
