Ahh, I didn't see your chainring size listed, maybe in an earlier post... I always think of a sub-compact as being in the 46/30 or 44/28 range, 38 tooth is a whole nuther story sorry.
Doug64, if I were to do this again I would opt for a setup like yours but with the hills around here would shoot for a 48T or 46T big ring, when on the flats I spend the all of my time on the big ring.
