Without wanting to start a huge tangent, what are people's opinions on compact chainsets?

The Canyon comes with 52/36, the Rose has the option of 50/34. Both running 11-28 cassettes.

I just naturally selected it on the Rose, as the option was there, and I can see myself needing more gears uphill than I would down!

I know I probably won't need the really spinny gears in Norwich, but I have a friend in the Peak District who I have every intention of riding with a lot more once I'm geared up - will I rue the day I went for the Canyon and lost those two teeth on the front?

I have to says I can't really tell that much difference unless on the mountain.

On the flat, the difference is minimal, bear in mind a new chainring is very expensive.

I think I'll go compact then, just to be safe in case I do end up on a mountainous trip at some point!

I can't see myself needing much of a variation on the 70 gear inches I'm on at the moment on the Norfolk flat, so would probably pick the closest gear and stick with it for the most part.
