Mostly commuting and road touring, but also back roads and gravel amongst the latter, like we experienced a lot in Wales.
It's more whether I believe the people who say that Resolutes are still fast on the road, because road is going to be 80-90 percent of the use - but that 10-20% off road could be pretty rough, rocky, muddy stuff.
Thunder Burts will be way too big I think

Thunder Burts are flipping awesome! Even on second set, It still stonked me how fast they were. Capable off road as well. They do come up a bit smaller than advertised, so might be worth trying them out.

If you are on the road they will be slow no doubt.
That is why I am getting Speed Kings.
I used to run WTB Vulpines (but they don't make them anymore).I am not sure what is available in 650Bs but I am totally hooked on semi slicks. I did a tour in Brittany on tarmac and gravel with Scooter and Fox on Challenge Gravel Grinder plus 38c. They are perfect for the type of cycling you are talking about. For heavy duty touring the Speed Kings will offer same low rolling resistance with side knobs for confident cornering but more volume.
EDIT: Furious Fred might be worth looking at as well.

Well what are you going to use this for?
I am in the process of changing my Inbred into a 29" x 2.1" Speed King drop bar thing hoping to go off road touring in Scotland and Wales.
EDIT: Resolutes look similar to Thunder Burts, but I think TBs have lower rolling resistance?
