How much adaptation is lost by swapping 2 hour SS rides with 3 hours of endurance? SSB2

The rides listed in the weekly tips still fall below the 3 hour sort of lengths I was contemplating. They also seem to be chosen to keep TSS roughly the same as the originally scheduled workouts, which makes sense, but I’m okay with a bit of a TSS bump, as my happy place sort of falls between mid and high volume based on past experience. I guess my question though is really more about if the increased time in the saddle at endurance intensity will pay bigger benefits to me than the shorter interval sessions would, given my event preferences, or if I’m really just better off sticking with more sweet spot work, and having faith in the idea that working at a lower percentage of an increased FTP will just let those longer rides happen.
