Which "special cards" did you mean? What extra setup time?
Event Cards... this is the only one that might add time.. since you need to pull them all out and the add 2 per player to the deck. But, if you separate them out as you play rather than putting them in the player deck discard pile.. it only takes a few seconds to find it there are any left.
You are missing out on quite a bit of variety if you mean the special event cards.

This, the challenges are worth their setup when I want to do them, but the event cards... it is yet another step before the deck-stacking & shuffles. Oh wait, the shuffling, the dealing, sub-deck shuffling and deck-stacking. For what? So that Airlift has a greater chance of not showing up in the game?
Someday they'll come in, when I'm ready, but the variety of the base game + expansion roles is fine for me and my group for now. We already chose something else when were kinda in the mood for Pandemic 10% of the time because setup is a bit more than we want that night.
Rumors exist of a second expansion coming, who knows, perhaps that box will hold the whole game and have a well designed insert that makes setup easier by getting me to store the cards as each setup category. If we can remember to deal hands before building the sub decks more consistently - then adding in the new event cards becomes more plausible.
