I did a year of 22mi round trip commuting on my 2 speed, from Tottenham Hale to Victoria and back, 4-5 days a week.
2 speed was fine but a bit undergeared. If I had the extra cash I'd have been tempted by ti to drop a bit of the weight, but it wasn't too bad as it was...
Changing an inner tube on the 2 speed was enough of a faff (in the dark, in depths of winter) that if a 6 speed is any more complex I would be inclined to stick with low(er) weight and less complexity.
