What's the most dramatic shifting your friction shifters can do?

I've set my Paramount up with Suntour Power Ratchet shifters, Campy SR FD, SR RD, Suntour 13-23 6spd, and a 50-34 Campy Veloce crankset. I catch all the gears except for the small-small(34-13)

I've seen new bikes with triple cranks(52-39-30) and cassettes with a 34T bailout gear. That would be some kind of push on a downtube shifter to hit that gear. Or do you sacrifice hitting the higher gears in order to get the lowest one?
