Why wring your hands over it? 50/11 is a bigger gear than 53/12, so it's not like you will loose any top end speed with the proper cassette. Aside from shorter chainlife, there is no real downside to a 50/34 with a 11-23 or 11-25 cassette, unless for some strange reason you spend alot of time at 35+mph.
