Good for you. Like I said originally, if you want to dampen road vibration, use a sightly wider tire at lower pressure. Instead of a 1" tire at 100psi, a 1.5" tire at 75psi will be much more comfortable while still offering good ride quality and not feeling "squishy."
Just for reference, I use 1.25" at 85 psi on my MTB/drop bar conversion and love the ride, but my bike and fork are steel. If I had an AL bike, I'd go with 1.5".
