In some areas, I think the fat bike had an advantage over the gravel (shallow mud, water soaked lawns).

But, any sort of incline or wind, you really feel it compared to a lighter gravel bike (but because of the gearing, this is slower, but easier to get up steep hills).

Overall, I'm pretty happy. There's a few spots that I could have handled differently (carry, don't drag bike through mud that's a foot deep), but you learn for next year.
Another consideration is your tires and air pressure. I know when I switched to another set of tires, it seemed like the bike rode twice as fast.
