The race blade longs don't need more few mm. I think you'll be OK.
I'm sold on 28mm+ for winter riding. 25s are OK but I still find myself avoiding certain lanes or having to back off to pick my way over broken road. I go quicker on higher volume tyres.
Local councils are declassifying a lot of nice cycling roads, effectively letting them degrade to rubble. It's particularly frustrating here in Gloucestershire because we have a lot of roads (to ignore).
