  When I first flew the Legacy demonstrator, I thought the trim a bit too fast
  at the higher speeds. I, too, resolved to have a two-speed elevator trim.
  
  I figured I would use a relay from either the gear or the flap switch. Well,
  I just got so darned busy with dozens of other "mods" that I never got
  around to this one.
  
  I'm glad that I never got around to it. I agree with Barry. It's just a
  non-issue. I have no need whatsoever for a two-speed trim motor. The
  airplane works just fine with only one speed for the elevator trim motor.
  
  I also fly overhead approaches which means the speed drops all the way from
  200 KIAS to 100 KIAS over a short time period. I have no difficulty
  whatsoever with keeping it trimmed. The same is true as I accelerate on
  takeoff. Again, I have no trouble keeping it trimmed. I never get behind as
  the motor speed is more than adequate.
  
  I wouldn't bother with it. Spend your building time on something else.
