I am getting ready to buy a brand new rig and I have been considering the same issues. I have two comments to add to your thoughts.
one...
I do not put a lot of stock in the "2-stroke has a higher top end speed" since it is not often that any of us run full throttle no matter what the speed.
two...
there is some pretty good info on the new Mercury 4-strokes. They goirt me leaning that way
