You have lighter wheels and a bigger gear. You are going to go faster on the flats and short bursts. If you want too climb fast, or increase your speed over a longer distance with a variety of terrain then the lower gearing MAY be the answer. You should experiment and get a bike computer to get some hard data.

I see you live in Denver. From my experience, if you are considering two gears for hills, go with the lower one.
