I have a feeling that when you went from the Dual Sport to the Allant, the aerodynamic gains from the thinner tires were canceled out by the addition of fenders. If you add fenders to the OT and it then feels slow, you'll know. ;-)
After 3 months with Ozark Trail, I did end up buying Trek Checkpoint ALR. I'm still using the Ozark Trail for commute. Checkpoint is for weekend recreational rides.
