I really like having the low gear to comfortably spin up the steep stuff when needed, and don't miss the top end at all. If I'm going over 25 MPH, I'm coasting! On another note, I'm really enjoying my Schwlabe G-One 650x2.35 tires!

That sounds like an ideal set-up. Maybe a 38t in front. You're using Shimano, I assume? Sounds like an XT cassette. I would've preferred Shimano (and asked about it on the Forum) but it all sounded to complicated. And I like simple.
Another reason for the 1X
