There's not a lot of difference between 44-18 and 42-17. The only real difference (other than the 0.7 GI change) is the fact that you get a lot more skid patches. Not really worth putting any money into it if you already have a pretty decent set up with decent parts.
I'm running 44-18 as well and I'm finding it pretty good. It's a little spinny once you get going but it's good for getting off the lights and good for wheelies etc.
