47x15 here. I am old and fat. Have a 14t which I tried one week but training on a big gear was horrible.
I suppose it's worth mentioning that although more expensive to have some options, buying chainrings will give subtler increases in gear inch than switching cogs. Obvs.
Gear inches isn't that complicated. You get used to knowing vaguely what inch you're on. i.e. I ride about 84 on the track and about 66 on the road.
