I would happily change my 'fast' bike back to a proper 53/39 (i have the rings and spider to do so) but I do take my bike to Wales on a regular basis and the steep, long climbs there force me into 34/23 on a regular basis so basically I can't be fucked. Screw long cage mechs and 27 sprockets.
I'm not racing and I have nothing to prove :) even when riding with stronger riders I hardly ever find myself spinning out.
May get myself a 110bcd 52 if I decide to ride some tt's on the s-works though. Maybe.
