I so rarely use the small ring that I never really paid much attention, but you're absolutely correct. When that chain comes back up to the big ring I have to take it slow till it engages with the chain properly. I have always feathered my front DR when I shift because of growing up with friction shifters. I have 2 new 52t chain rings coming that are not narrow/wide. I can only imagine how much nicer the front DR is going to work.
