I am currently riding a 2012 Jamis Quest that has a triple chainring (50/39/30) and an 11-28 cassette.
I am considering buying a 2015 Fuji Gran Fondo that comes with a compact double (50/34) and an 11-28 cassette. I do most of my riding on big hills and mountains out west and am often using my three easiest gears on big, long climbs

If I switch to the Fuji with the compact double I assume I will be effectively losing at least my easiest gear. Is that about right or will I be losing more ??
