The difference between a 75 mph touchdown and a 90+ mph touchdown is
significant. It's a 44% + increase in your momentum.

Its a 44% increase in KE, not momentum (20%). But so what? Both
momentum and KE are relative only to other objects that shouldn't be
on the runway anyway. Turboprops, jets, have higher touchdown speeds.

... I know the
Matco W50L's are good, but do you want to get rid of that much of the
margin?

You mean brake wear? Typically canard flyers let it roll down the runway
to save brakes. The lighter vari-ez would have less problem
with stopping distance - is that the canard that you fly?

Low speed handling is significantly improved by trailing edge fences,
you may want to look into them.

They also have a problem with low speed roll control which is eliminated
with the higher speed touchdown/takeoff - which also eliminates prop torque
issues on takeoff.

Even in a conventional planes with no flaps, you land more
stable at higher landing speeds - a little more runway.

BTW Cozy Mark IV is about 200 lbs lighter than SQ2000.
