I ride in some pretty hilly areas.
I am running a compact double 50/34 and a 12-32 cassette, Sram 22 w/a mid size rear dr cage, shifts great, climbs great and I am no physical marvel believe me.
Really nothing to be gained by changing your big ring re: ease of climbing.
Going to a triple crank is another deal but it is expensive and, unless you are touring loaded with gear, not really necessary. (In my opinion)
