i have a Doval 52/36 and it is good when in gear and when cadence normal, shit when changing front gear, and shit when cadence drops such as on long steep climbs. I won't be replacing it with another.
If you normally ride a 52/36, should you be looking at a 52/36 oval? As they are equivalent to 55/39 or something at the widest points. Which may be why i struggle with it at low cadence...
