Did I say I experienced a performance letdown? I was trying to say the opposite! I haven't put any really long hours in downpours just yet but I've been pleased with how it handles 3 hours of riding in a deluge. I think I might be tempted to opt for the Revelation for the kind of adventures you are talking about. The added features and superior waterproofing would be useful and the stiffer hand feel might as well. You'd lose the packability and simplicity though.
