I don't know your exact tooth count front and back, but I like the looks of your geartrain, although my tastes admitted run toward somewhat tight clusters. With 2x6 half-step or 1.5-step setups on my road bikes and a 3x8 1.5-step-and-granny on my mountain bike, I am used to doing a lot of double shifting, anyway.
