On Sat I swapped out 48/15 with 48/17 for my fuji. Not a massive change but I have spent the last two days riding around with a big grin on my face accelerating away from lights without feeling like my legs are going to explode. I also feel much more in control of the bike especially when it comes to (skid) stopping.
Having said that, riding 48/15 for 5 months has done wonders for my leg strength!
