If only something like that was for a 7-speed it could work with my current derailleur/shifters!

+1. Yeah, there are a lot of 7-speed cassettes that half-step well. The 12-28 "E" cassette is the same as Bud's without the two biggest cogs.

If you want to do half-step plus granny, the best bang for your buck is probably the 11-28 (HG41) or 12-32 (HG20 or SRAM). www.gear-calculator.com is great for mapping this stuff out visually. Good luck!
