SRAM makes a 12-36 and Shimano an 11-36. SRAM cassettes are Shimano compatible. SRAM 1050 and 1070 are good cassettes.

My issue is the Shimano 11-13 gap vs the SRAM 12-13 1 tooth gap. Both have 13-15 which are on the edge of acceptable, at least for me.

Plus a 52-12 high gear ratio is probably fast enough. Other than downhills, it is close to a 35mph gear on the flats.
