Speed seems to not have quite the low end if you want to squeeze every last drop out of the wind. You might want to try a sonic 2 for those last couple knots. At least that's been the experience here (comparing 18m Speed 5, 18m Soul, 18m Sonic 2). If you have relatively steady wind and good kite control, Sonics are fantastic. If it's gusty they make some nice abstract origami shapes :D
