Removing the lower wings definitely makes it faster and more able to handle a little wind once you correct the CG. It's a real nice flyer that way. However, I find I can fly a stock biplane version in smaller spaces more easily, like in my back yard. That's a very nice capability to have.
I can't decide which I like better. It varies with the flying conditions. I kind of wish the lower wings snapped in and out more easily so I could change the plane for every flight.
Im finding that now too....its easier to fly with the bottom wing still on in SMALLER spots but if you really want to fly and have a bit of room definately remove it.
