I just ordered a 46 to replace my big ring. The hill repeats are just to dang slow with the compact setup. I will see how it goes and I may even change to small ring, who knows. We have some pretty good climbs on my routs, and I'm not willing to give them up yet.
By the way we just had our 52 anniversary on the 5th of Jan. I can't believe it. Where did the time go? Talk about water under the bridge. 6 kids, 23 grandchildren and 2 1/2 greats.
