I still don't fully understand capacity. It implies you're going to cross chain big-big and small-small, right? What if you just don't do that, and shift your chainring at the 'right' time? Then you can get away with a lot more (range)?
I guess the downside is you have shift your chainring at the right time, otherwise you're screwed.
