Maybe, but for places like the Peaks, I'd always want some bounce. Plenty of the trails are mega steep and don't have much of a "smooth line". I go farily regularly as I've got mates in Sheffield, but I'm always surprised at just how technical and steep the riding can be (compared the relatively smooth flowing North Downs).
@cake - If you're on a budget, adding bounce tends to be expensive, but for the price, I've heard good things about these:

Yup the new ones do 3.0 front and a 2.4 on super wide rims in the back. Iv got one of the very first ones, which barely takes 2.4 front and back on 25mm internal rims.
@cake your current setup will force you to choose better and smoother lines, and make you better at life ;)
Edit: too late. @platypus maybe you got a newer one?
