My solution for this is an 11 speed 12-25 cassette (ten speed 12-23 works the same way). With a compact crankset, 50-19 gives about 18.5 mph and there's a one-tooth difference out to the 12t cog. That translates to about a five rpm change for most of it. Makes it easier to stay with your preferred cadence.
