Hello multiple front ring aficionado :)
I pretty much share your views regarding shifting. I have a 3x9 setup with a short rear derailleur. I can use the 4 smallest sprockets on the 44 front ring, the middle 7 (or 9 if necessary) on the 32t and the 4 largest sprockets on the 20t. As long as you know what gear you're in and where you shouldn't go it works perfectly. Lowest gear 20x34 on a 26" (20x2x07/34 = 121 cm = 48")_,_ highest (44x2.07/11 = 828 cm = 326") (15" to 105" gear spread)
Re: taking the choice away - it's basically a done deal, gone. I will be sidestepping the whole 1x to a gearbox option.
