I don't think I'll ever go back to a front derailleur ever again. 11-50T cassette with a 34T ring 12speed right now, I start riding in 6th and every shift up to 12th is only 2 tooth jumps, everything below 6th is climbing gears. There's enough range both ways that I wouldn't care for more. Maybe a 36T ring or 11-46T makes more sense for my uses but commuting with a XC bike is comfy and still fast.
