The Trail Boss at 50% wear fills your niche pretty well, but I've found it to be nothing like a S/S in rolling speed until it's properly worn.
I've been on the e13 S/S program for a few tire's time now, and really dig them on my full sus, but agree with you that a bit more volume would make them far more hardtail friendly.
In the end, if you're someone who has to put in any road miles to get to a trailhead, the semislick life can be a disheartening one every 250 miles or so.
