I agree in principle, but I'd go higher up the cassette. Ideally I'd like to keep the jumps between ratios at 10% or below, so wouldn't move to double jumps until the 20 and above. 12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-22-24 would imo be marginally superior to an 11-25.
On reflection, I'd be prepared to sacrifice the 19, but would probably trade it for a 26 rather than the 11.
