Actually I disagree. Most of the banter in the space battle is too much. I think a good idea would be to cut Anakin blasting Obi-Wan's ship, and instead cutting to the part where he swoops in and removes them with his wing, you know a "great pilot". There's some bad acting in that scene, mostly from Christensen.

But I would assume that Obi-Wan would still believe that Dooku was fooled, much like Anakin. I mean, we don't want to comprimise Obi Wan's moral standing here.
You're edit is your own, but sitting here re-reading the script, alot of the dialogue between Obi Wan and Anakin is great at the beginning of the film. I would cut down the space between "Hold on, you're not helping anything" and then "You're right, bad idea". There is a weird space between the responses that kills the comedic timing. However, one line that is CLASSIC: Wait a minute, how'd this happen! We're smarter than this.

In fact, late in the film, Obi-Wan may even mention that Dooku was right all along...
"will Dooku be revealed as a Sith Lord or is he still just a fallen Jedi who got suckered?"
Dooku was a Sith Lord, Darth Tyrannus.

Without the banter, Obi Wan and Anakin's relationship is more like QuiGon and Obi Wan and not a true friendship. Without the two actually liking each other, as shown in those scenes, then the betrayal is meaningless.
In fact, there is more of it that comes in before Anakin says 'lock on Artoo' that I wish was included. Not to mention the scenes in the hanger that were cut that would have been nice to have as well.
