No, my status is different. It simply happened to experience both 23 and 28 mm, only on flat and reasonable roads (the bike with 23 is not safe anymore for climbing / descending / hard braking). Both bikes are stock, good brands and below 4000 EUR (aluminum rims, nothing really special). The old bike with 23mm is more agile and feels marginally faster.
That's only my experience on good roads and stock bikes, thus, I can't ignore it for the sake of general articles on internet. Of course, somebody in another situation might feel the opposite.
