I was sort of looking at the Specialized Secteur Sport (52/42/30 chainring, 13-26t cassette) or Sport Triple (50/39/30 chainring, 12-27t cassette), as compared to my Camber 29er (44/32/22 chainring, 11-34t cassette).
It looks like the low range on either Sport is similar to the Camber low range I have (using Sheldon Brown's calculator).
