It's normal to get a lot of ideas of what you like & don't like.
Give it another month or 2 and many of your current ideas may change.
A couple years ago, I got into mixing cogs on my cassette to give me "custom" gearing.
It got to a point I was swapping 2-3 times/wk. because on different days something else seemed to make more sense.
Now i just accept that somew days are going to be different, but maybe the day after will be like today. I might as well stay where I'm at and save 2 swaps.
