If you're not group riding at fast pace, a compact is more than ever enough, and a lot nicer to ride with a close block in back. Compact and 11-25 or 11-27/28 would be perfect.
I want to put one on my all use bike. Far more useful for most people that 53X39. 50x11 is a massive gear. And 34x25 is a very practical gear.
50x11 at 100rpm is 36 mph.
