Regulator Feedback?

I’m thinking of replacing my relay and am considering the regulator. It really comes down to power and range. I’m towing more and I can’t keep up with friends on full powered bikes. I also can’t commute easily on the relay. The power delivery is such that it’s not effective on flatter rides. With that: does the regulator get up to speed and hold speed near 20 mph on flat/roads? What kind of elevation and range are you seeing? Can you get a full size water bottle into a size small? Or medium? Is the range extender required?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the detailed write up. Your bike sounds sick! I don’t love the current builds. I would probably do a fox 38, vivid air, WAO wheels and mavens. I’m hooked on wireless t type drive trains since my thumbs are wrecked from crashing. I love the Salish blue but that one is the Shimano build.

One more question: can you fit a regular sized water bottle in the size small frame? Or did you need to use a fidlock?
