That is a false dichotomy. The present choice you have as a consumer is between no encryption and 'encryption I don't understand well enough to judge whether or not it is secure'. Unless you are one of a rather small group of experts, that pretty much covers all options available to you, not just Speck. At best you are trusting the opinion of someone else who is more expert or you are deciding for non-technical reasons, as seems to be the major factor with Speck.
