Whatever monk build you're doing, it's not worth giving up a capstone for 2% run speed. Pure monk + sprint boost is plenty fast. You don't even need to be in LD if you have TF Reinvigoration to regen them. (The cooldown reduction in LD is nice though if you want to use them back to back though.)
Yeah, agreed. It's a good capstone. If I find the loss painful I'll just TR again. My reasoning is: the character is plenty good enough already and isn't "finished" yet. The losses will hurt but I don't think the microseconds practical difference it'll make to my preferred play will hurt
that much. But if they do, I'll TR back to pure Monk.

I'm guessing that the 2 Rogue levels were for Cartwheel Charge and Followthrough and the free Swords to Ploughshares feat. You only need 1 Rogue level for that, but if you're going to have 1 Rogue level, you might as well have 2 because what is that 19th Monk level going to give you? (ironically, what Monk 19 gives you is more run speed)
19Mnk gives you runspeed? I thought the final breakpoint was at 18? Hence my reasoning; 'Well, if I'm happy ditching the capstone I don't really need the other Monk level so I may as well get access to the extras 2Rog offers'. If you mean Shadow Walk then, yeah fair point... though when I'm on a pure Monk I don't use it because the visual is too fucking annoying. I used to use it in familar explorer areas but these days I mount a horse (fnar).
