OP: is the in-out travel not enough, or is the cage no deep enough to clear the chain when on the small ring? If the former (and the derailleur stop screws are maxed), maybe your crank is too far outboard. Is it the original crank/spindle combination? If the FD is not clearing the chain when on the small ring, then a cage extension should do the trick.
