Question about Donor Hair growth potential (pics included)

[bennyt89]

In my early 20's the hair at the back of my head (which will obviously be the donor area) used to grow at a very fast rate and was incredibly thick as well, now that I'm in my late 20's I noticed that even though the thickness is largely the same, the rate of growth is much slower then it used to be.

 

I'm a NW2.5 heading fast to a NW 3, I was looking into a HT to fix my temples and receding hairline with Dr Bisanga, I believe I need around 2000+ grafts. But this makes me concerned that my donor area (pictured) may not be suitable for a transplant as I tend to wear my hair in almost a quiff style, and if the hair in the transplanted areas doesn't grow to anything substantial it will look quite foolish, and I don't like to wear my hair too short

 

Any input would be appreciated , at the moment I do shave the sides and back down no longer then number 2 and get my haircut once a month (these pics were straight after a haircut), so maybe I should let it grow out a bit...
