Yes the Bellm trigger spring makes for a nice pull. My blued Pro Hunter has just a #3 Bellm spring and it breaks at 2.75lbs. I put the #3 spring in myself, its pretty easy following Mikes instructions. This new one had the honing done and I think a #2 spring installed. It also has the Bellm 50lb hammer spring for faster lock time.

I will try some MMP tans next trip. At 110gr BH209 with Barnes 195's the petals blew off the MMP's for me last year in my Omega. The Encore has a 26" barrel yours probably a 28"? I would not think 2" would make mine 100fps slower.
