I am currently looking to do an extended EU tour (Ish) this year as well.
I don't want to turn this into a political thread but one thing to be aware off, if you are traveling from the UK on a British passport is that you can now only stay in the Schengen Area for 90 days out of every 180.
If you are only traveling for 70 days then this wouldn't affect you but as others have said more time would allow you to see more and with the nature of any long trip delays are inevitable, there are exceptions to this rule for a select group of countries.
It is worth being aware of this, there are some very hefty potential penalties for over staying it.
These links might be helpful, i'm no way an expert on this, I'm currently getting my head around it at the moment.

Best of luck with the Planning and Enjoy your trip!
