I like the way the people at Compass Bike try to distinguish between real improvements in bicycle technology from the marginal improvements that come with them. A freehub/cassette hub is a significant improvement over a freewheel hub, and there is no down side to that improvement. Adding one more cog to the cassette is a marginal improvement with serious downsides.
