I've been running a 50/34 with a 12-25 for the last few years. I like it quite a bit for my terrain and strengths (we do have some steep-ish pitches, but they're short enough that I can torque it out). Going to even taller gearing in hillier country? Yow. I'd have to stop alongside the road to look for my patellae after they blow off and in to the shrubbery.
