I do clean the bike/cassette/chain quite often but I have not yet gotten a new chain. I will take it in to my LBS and get that done.
I found this online gearing calculator really useful for picking the right cassette and chain wheels. I think you can find the right combination without going through the hassle and expense of converting to an 11 speed and compact double.
