I'm still getting used to the bike itself, and in a strange city, so haven't pushed the half-step thing yet. In it's time, I will. 😎
Even if you find that the half-step pattern doesn't work out with your new cassette, it will still be plenty usable if you just shift up and down the cassette on a particular chainring, as you would a regular bike. No downsides, really.
