I just want to let you know that if you're referring to the 2-motor VersaPlanetary adapter, that adapter is not compatible with the mini-CIM as the motor is much larger than what the adapter is designed for. If you are actually referring to the BAG motor instead of the mini-CIM, then the adapter will work with that.
I don't think a fast climb is incredibly important at all levels of play this year; a consistent climb is far more valuable if that's the tradeoff you're making. Since you're using a VP, you can always try a smaller reduction later if you want, such as 40:1, and see if the motor still does a good job lifting with that amount of torque. (I don't know if it will, I'm just throwing it out there).
