True.

Motorhommmer, you could even buy both cassettes and hack them together into one super cassette and pick a range that suits your needs best rather than relying on Shimano's gearing choices.

11,12,14,16,18,21,24,28,32

11,13,15,17,20,23,26,30,34 <- Are you sure about the 20? Wouldn't that one be a 19 instead?
v
11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,21,23,24,26,28,30,32,34 <- Quite a range to select from here.

Since you're running a tripple with a 26t up front how likely are you to need to go all the way up to 34 on the back? Are they pretty large hills?
