You could split the manliness difference and go with a 30-tooth cassette. It will give you tighter gear ratios and work better with a short-cage derailleur
If I make it to 63, still cycling, I will certainly have a 34-tooth or larger big ring in the back and while that might make me a pu**y, I suspect I'll be too tired to care.
