The difference in speed is almost unoticable unless you have really geared up the drive on your bot.... we have a slgiht curve when we go full throttle forward, but it is easily correctable by very minute turns by the driver.

This all comes down to whether it really makes a difference. Re-designing the base of your bot to accomidate this small imporvement may be more work than it is worth. On the other hand, if it is a real problem to the function of your robot, re-doing the base may be a viable option.

Key thing to remember, if you keep it simple, things *usually* work smoother. Doing something through code is a better option (to me at least) than redesigning hte base to make the motors go at teh same speed.

Just my thoughts
