On the other hand, I make full use of the 3 speed on my 12 mile round commute between Highgate-Moorgate; I wouldn't want to switch to the 2 speed.
There are various pros and cons to each set up but IMO the weight is negligible as the bikes are heavy as fuck anyway.
I'd recommend going to a shop, trying both and buying whatever you prefer.
