Hard to beat Ultegra 8000 for bang for the buck. You can go to 11-34 (officially) so you miss the 1:1 by just a gear with the 36/46 crankset. I'm a hard core campy guy, 4 bikes with campy 10/11, and then the gravel bike with Ultegra and it works so well. It's very light and precise. The new style FD may be the best feature, it's not intuitive to set up, I had to watch youtube to figure it out, but it really does the job with easy adjustment. It uses a set screw to take up cable slack so you can get it close, clamp the cable and use the set screw to adjust.
