I disagree! But it's a hard argument. Once you're 5.866 speed, anything extra seems relatively useless in battle. I'd rather the extra health. Of course, you could argue that once the hp is lower than 540, it was all for nothing, and speed is something that lasts a whole battle (unless poisoned). But on the other side of the discussion, sometimes an opponent will only hit you for 3-8 damage if they're unlucky (even fully prepped weapons).

Both can be quite useful, it's all about what you value more. Speed or hp cushioning.
