Beth: I thought you loved the LongLow. What changed? And, second, what about 700c wheels now disappoints you?
(An aside: after riding the massively fat and heavy 700c SnoCat wheels on the Fargo, at very low pressures, too, I yesterday rode the 650C Gofast with new Michelin Pro 3s or somesuch: quite a difference! The Michelins are too narrow even for my preferences -- 21 mm actual for claimed 23 -- but they seem to roll well without feeling like iron even on the roughish pavement I traversed, this at ~75/85 or so -- heckofalot better than 1.25 Fatboys at 110, which in my salad days was my habit! I hope they'll expand with use. I bought them because Nashbar had them on sale for $35 but hope eventually -- = when I get some $$ -- to replace them with 25s in the same or similar model.)
