If you want a large gear range reasonably cheap, have you considered going 2 x 10/11 speed? You could get something like 450% range with an 11-36 cassette and double chainrings. Those cassettes should be available most places.
Didn’t consider double chainring as 11-36 or 9-34 should be enough for me. But then I can always add one later.
