To Compact or not to Compact? This is the question...

Ok, So I climb hills. But I also like speed. 

I currently run standard front chainrings, but they are being replaced this week. 

So do I stick with the old or go with the new ?

Im running an 11-28 but I'm thinking that I can get a tighter cluster using compacts. 

Then there is this Dirty Dozen ride coming up.Is it Madness to try that on standards?  Maybe....

Will my top end speed really suffer with the change ?

Who has tried both ? What do you prefer & why ?
