I, perhaps as a flat lander, prefer a tightly spaced rear set up. Then I use a triple to extend the overall range

I do it just the opposite for flat land. I use a wider spaced rear setup 12-36 9sp and then a triple to tighten up the spacing 45,42,XX half step + granny. It is like having a double with 15 cogs in the back to pick from.
Two different approaches to solve the same problem.
