Totally understand, I actually used a Stronglight 99Bis with my DA 7400 8 speed group as it allowed me to use much smaller inner and thus the 12-26 DA cassette was great even on some of the steeper bits.
For me it was an acceptable compromise though as you say the 7410s are one of the nicest crank sets, arguably the nicest in the Shimano range ever.
Completely make sense. I am probably going for a set of Stronglight 48 + 38 which I just found on eBay. With 11 – 28 cassette it should give me an acceptable ratios for variety of conditions
