12-28 is the perfect cassette IMO. At least for my riding style and terrain (and fitness). For every 1 time I may wish I had an 11t, there's 5 or 6 times I'm glad to have the 16t. Every other cog is the same on these two cassettes. If it's right in that perfect zone of 15-19 where you feel you are missing a gear, then yeah, the 16t will make a difference. If it's above the 17t, it's the same cassette, so anything above that will be the exact same, and you will feel no difference.

I am running exactly what you propose. 50X34 w/12X28 and SRAM Red. It works really well for me.

12-28 might be a great gear range, but the choice of only using a DA cassette can be an issue for some. 12-25 is a better option for those that don’t live in very hilly areas.
We were just shopping for a new cassette for my GF's bike, and I wanted to find her an 11-30 Ultegra, which they don't make in 6800, only 8000. I guess that makes sense, they could have just decided to go with a new combination for the new Ultegra series, but seems strange they wouldn't make 12-28 in anything other than DA... |

This is a 10spd cassette, right?
