A coupact would work well for you. If you run a 50T up front and a 12-25 in the back, you can stay in teh big ring nearly all the time. But, you could also get the same thing by just putting a 50T big ring on your current double and keep the 39T small ring. If you don't have an issue with the 39T, then I'd really just say get a 52T or 50T big ring. Heck get both and see what you like! Chainrings are cheap.
