I can't get beyond those statements! You're 'often' going over 70hm/h (52x11 at 120rpm)? I live in Burlington too. You might hit that on the occasional escarpment descent, for a very short period of time. Often? ...I doubt it.
Racing? Yes. Rev3 Knoxville 3 weeks ago I spent 8 minutes of the 1:07 bike split (Oly) below 20RPM or above 110RPM. I'd say 12% of a bike split is often.
That said the large gaps between cog sizes is the real issue.
