The small jump is actually nearly identical to a 5 speed block, it just got the extra 5 cassette with similar jump to get that range.
I think the main problem is that we got so used to having such short jump that we spend more time going to the perfect ratio than staying on a ratio and change when necessary.
I run one of those. Works great with that derailleur. Some of the jumps in gearing are a bit annoying, but it's understandable and you get used to it.
