I have an M2L. Would have ideally had S2L but needed the M bars for the missus's more upright position.
2 gears are significantly lighter and plenty to get around. I went reduced gearing (again so that the missus can get up the Col de Leigham Court), which is fine though spins out quite quickly.
So upshot of that - i'd go S2L regular gearing + bag, no lights, firm suspension. (Ti if I was feeling minted.)
