Personally, I'd be more on-board with 28 - 1x7.
I have a feeling your experiences with this particular setup are heavily influenced by your single-speeding diesel cadence. Being a spinner, I'd find it a PITA to discover I'm on the lowest end of the 32 on a slow/weak/tired day, and just need to grunt through it. That said, I love the discussion things like this bring up, and it's super fun to think these things through, even if I want nothing to do with it.
