Be prepared to pay dearly for it, however.
I wouldn't say we all are "content" with the duplicate gears on our multiple sprocket and derailleur-equipped bicycles, but most of us are somewhat pragmatic about the cost-to-benefit ratio.
Yeah, I've got a Rohloff on my Thorn Raven Tour and am still somewhat in two minds about it tbh.
Not because of the cost, just because the claimed benefits don't seem so beneficial in real world situations.
I'm not discounting the Rohloff entirely, I'll persevere with it when I'm not in a hurry and I think I'd be happy to have one on my recumbent or on a tandem (because it's simpler) - but - as far as the Raven Tour goes, atm I can't really see it being a keeper.
