Bikes: my bikes: Old: 1965 Schwinn 10 speed, 72 Monshee 12 speed, 77 Norco 12 speed, 95 Trek 850, two Specialized Crosstrails, 2016 Specialized carbon Sirrus. New 2020 Trek FX1

My take on your question, the Sirrus you have is a beautiful bike that is more than capable of meeting your needs, it's basically a flat bar road bike with the added ability to do some gravel work if you wanted to try it due to the larger tires. It already has a higher end Shimano drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes and a top of the line aluminum frame with a carbon fork and a built in shock absorbing system in the head tube.
The only thing your looking for is a very minor increase in speed? It simply isn't worth making a change. If it was me and the incremental increase was that important, and I had the cash, I'd simply buy another bike that was a road bike.
