It is the way to go, Guillermo! They(full batten) are faster, they are
better/easier to trim and they last longer!
With the right setup they will also reef quicker and won't balloon away from
you, because they are stiffer.
All plus points. And.....when you sail you might as well sail fast.......or
faster than your buddies ;-)
Even when cruising to cut 3/4 - 1hour of a 5-6 hour journey is considerable
and not difficult to take. Especially when there are children o/b or bad
weather.
Happy sailing, you will not regret it.
