[Paddlewise] Greenland Storm Paddle Question

When paddling into winds > 15 I have difficulty keeping up with paddlers using feathered Euro paddles vs the traditional Greenland I am using.  Into winds > 20 mph I fall behind very quickly.

Would a storm paddle help me maintain a higher speed into the wind?

At what wind speed would you normally switch to a storm paddle?
