A few pound difference in tire pressure or a wider tire will make a significantly larger difference on the feel of a bike.
I've raced both the ISP and non ISP version of the same bike and not seen the smallest difference.
Reducing tire pressure will increase rolling resistance. I'd rather have a more "compliant" bike and run higher tire pressure.
