Think of bikes like cars. If going from point A to B quickly & efficiently is of concern, would you rather do it in a sports car or pickup truck?

The efficiency between a road bike and mountain bike is huge. Take a road bike out for a spin and you'll immediately feel the difference.

...and get a GOOD saddle, as well! If you do end up getting a road bike, I'd suggest going to a shop that actually fits you on the bike. Have them change the saddle to find one that is most comfortable for you. yes you'll have padding in bike shorts, but most stock saddles SUCK. When my wife got her bike, she went through 5 saddles before finding the one that felt best and fit her right.
