I have put your suggested changes into a simulation.
(with LTSPICE, a full featured SPICE freeware version made
available by Linear Technology)
On the left side you see the pulse response with the TLC272
opamp, on the right side with the LT1114.
The upper circuit is as you have suggested, the lower part is my
original design (which BTW was done with the TLC272 or TLC277).

Looks like figure 14.25.c on page 946 "The Art of Electronics", Horowitz, Hill, second edition, 1999,
except for the component values.

Ask Andreas ;-)
