moving from reg speeds to turbos

I've played only reg speed husngs and reached $100 level. There were no problems in the earlier levels but at reg speed 100s there isn't any action. I have to wait 30 minutes to get a game while there are a lot of games running at 110s. So i'm planning to move to turbos completely. But don't know where to start. Should i just start playing 110s or start at 55s to get a feel for them? Since ROI will be smaller i'm expecting to have larger swings therefore i don't think 30 bi are enough anymore. My ROI at 50s is 11%.Has anyone done similar thing recently? How was your experience? How much did your ROI drop?As far as I can tell there are a lot of benefits in playings turbos. They take half the time to finish so I could play two times as much at the same time, but I doubt ROI will drop in half -> more profit. More vpps -> more profit. Don't have to wait 30 min to get the game. But the thing I love about reg speeds and the only reason I played them all the time is less variance.

Answer is simple - If you

Answer is simple - If you dont have any experience with turbos, try to play 20$ - 55$ turbos (overrolled)  and see how it's going... :)

I doubt there's any skill

I doubt there's any skill difference between turbos and reg speeds. I mean, it's the same game, same blind structure. The only thing that's different is how fast blind levels are changing. I guess turbo players have more experience playing at low effective stacks because they get to high blinds more often, but it's not like I've never played 15bb deep. And I watched 95% of the videos on this site and the vast majority of them are turbos. Everything is the same as in reg speeds. I'm far more concerned with possible swings. I'm very comfortable with 30bi at 100s, but I don't think that's enough for 110s.Also, I'd like to know if there's anyone on this site that plays exclusively reg speeds at $100 and above?

Play the both in same time

Play the both in same time ...  seriously , they have more reg in the turbo and more swing because of the speed of the blind but overall is same ...
