I don't use the 50/28 or the 50/25 if it can be avoided, but the nice part about the 28 is that it gives you a MUCH better chain line on the 21, which I use almost all the time as a cruising/starting gear. and when you need to get in the small ring, it gives you a 34/28, which will let me climb anything I'd care to climb lol.
