Im currently running a MTB on slicks, it feels perfect for the sort of leisure stuff I do and will fit in fine on my commute when I start cycling in to work

Just wondering though how much more speed a road bike would give me? is there that big a difference?

I ride 80% flat tarmac paths, 10% average road and 10% cobbles on my commute route
