I don't know much about road bikes, have only been riding them for a few years but I can't really see much of an argument for anything other than a compact double with a 11-28 to suit me in the UK.
I'm the best part of 13.5st and a pretty weak climber as many of you know and can honestly say that I've never missed having a triple. Then again, I've never riden with a loaded bike. I'm sure a granny gear is very welcome when you're carrying a load.
