Thanks all

Lots of useful advice here. I am probably at the sweet spot now on those 35s. I have to laugh when I hear of handling on fast downhill curves though. Flatlands here and straight roads when I travel 5 miles of mixed city/suburbs and hit some country. Even a touring bike gives up nothing since handling is not at a premium and a serene ride prevails. Probably hard for people to even understand.
I think perhaps 65/70 on my 32s and 70/75 on my 28s makes sense too. Reason for the post was I am seeing how the more comfortable ride can still feel fast. The 35s were new for me too so was seeing other opinions although different tires and conditions will not be the same.
