    -faster speeds at all altitudes (lower angle of attack at all speeds)
 
Not really, lower angle of attack means less L/D - efficiency - glide ratio.
Speed being equal, it takes more power at a lower AoA (more wing area).
 
If you want a faster wing, REDUCE the wing area, note Rare Bear's wing - clipped.
