Something of note though, I weigh about 215 lbs and my bike only had moderate weigh loss work done to it. I suspect scrawny guys with 50 less pounds of gut and 15-20 less pounds of bike can get away with lower pressures.

Everyone listing pressures should probably be qualifying that with body and bike weight. If I went down to 27 in the rear, my tires would overheat. If found that same thing with Pirelli SC's, some people's lower pressure suggestions would overheat them and they would start feeling greasy.
I am exactly the same weight, 215lb. and I could feel the rear squirm around a bit. Next track day I am putting on the takeoffs I got from Bruce, and I will try 32/32 off warmers. I think now that I am getting a bit faster its making the difference in what I am feeling whereas before I wasnt going fast enough to matter.
