Many in the Mooney community seem to believe the 3 blade prop reduces cruise speed by about 5 knots. Supposedly a myth. Members of Cardinal Flyers have reported cruise speed losses after conversion to 3-blades. Some have reported ROC improvements and less noise. The consensus runs against the conversion being worth it. Not only (far) less noise, but significantly decreased vibration due to different airflow pulses against the airframe. It is also suggested that the miniscule speed loss (1-2%) can be adjusted out by running higher RPM's that a two blade prop would turn into noise and vibration.
