For alpine road riding does fitting a dinner plate 32t cassette make any practical difference over a 28t assuming you have a compact 34t up front? No luggage, 7kg bike, reasonably fit rider and we'll be avoiding the really silly stuff.
Basically I'm looking for someone to validate my decision not to fit an MTB mech and associated re-cabling to the other half's bike, and just check a 28t cassette on there and be done with it.
