I really want to move to a better typing style but I'm nervous that I'll end up losing my current ability to type very fast and spend months typing very slow for no real long term gain. Has anyone tried re-learning typing after they've been typing 16 hours a day for half a decade? I can type at 120 WPM with 2 fingers (QWERTY) and don't want to end up typing at 60 WPM for 6 months while I learn to type with all my fingers in COLEMAK (or DVORAK) to find that I'm back at 120 WPM... I have no pain from typing 16 hours consecutively at the moment, so the only advantage would be speed.
Regardless of what you use, touchtyping is better than hunt'n'peck because it allows you to multitask. You can write what you want while looking at other things and evaluating them - there's an increased continuity between what you're writing and what you're thinking.
