I'm using this cassette with a 50/36 and it allows me to stay in the big ring for 90%+ of my regular 40mile, 3000 vertical feet ride. The 50/13,15,17,19 combos are what I'm using the majority of the time but I can go to the 21 and 23 from the big ring without a problem. Using the 50/36 gives me less of a drastic change in gear inches when going between big and small rings.
How's the jump from 25 to 28? Seems kind of like an extreme jump given the situations that you'd be using the 28.
