Ah, OK.

So, to answer your question. Full removal is obviously best. Your plans for lowering & partial removal will help. How much, nobody can say for sure. So now you have to answer the question: how much work are you willing to put in for an unknown, but likely small percentage improvement?

If it were mine, I would do the work. But I'm well down the "efficiency is fun" rabbit hole.
