Riding a wider tire will definitely improve the ride however not sure your fork will accommodate a wider tire. A quick call to the LBS will answer that question. If so then also consider two sets of wheels so you can quickly switch out depending on what it is you want to do with the bike. For full disclosure
I think a 28 tire is "narrow" as I ride a touring bike with a 650B wheel and about 40 mm wide tires.
