Joe,
I am going through the same thought process as you. I much prefer closely spaced cassettes for all riding. I have a 26 small chain ring, and am going to use a 12-27 for the eastern half of the TransAm. I have a 12-32 for the mountains (western half of the TransAm). I think Michael is on to something with the closely spaced gears and then a BIG jump to the granny of 34.
