Sram 10-33 or 10-36? Your opinion is appreciated

[bianchi10]

Hey all. Looking to see if I can gather some opinions here. If there is one thing I don't have much knowledge in, it is gearing ratios. I have basically been riding similar gearing since I started, therefor my lack of experience has me wondering which direction I should go here.

Current set up:
Sram Etap HRD (11spd)
50/34 chainring and 11-30 cassette
SLF OSPW

I just bought a used AXS Red groupset and am trying to decide which combination will help me. I do not have MASSIVE climbs here. However, if there is one thing I dislike most, it's climbing. I can get along just fine with my current gearing, but I wouldn't mind having a ration that made climbing just a little easier and have that higher gear option, should I feel the desire to use it. I'm not racing or needing to prioritize top end speed. Just want a good balance.

My thoughts: (The RD I got has the max 36T BTW
48/35 chainring and pairing that with the Sram Red 10-33 or even the Force 10-36.

I've been told from a friend that I most likely wouldn't notice much of a difference with a 10-33, but that combination would be the best of both worlds. I've done some reading and one thing that truly stands out are the comments that mention how much a God send the 10-36 on the way home after a long ride and you're fatigued. Don't have to use the 36, but it's there if you need.

Most people will not see eye to eye with one of my thoughts here, but once you become a weight weenie, it is very difficult to shut it off. My new build will be weight conscious (SL8 Sworks Tarmac). It will be a priority, but that doesn't mean it is the most important. The difference between a Red 10-33 and a Force 10-36 is 65g. Again, it may not be a big deal to some/most of you, but it is something I will at least think about.

SO, to those of you with more experience with gear ratio's, I would be keen to hear your feedback as to which you think may be a good choice, given the information I've given and what I'm trying to achieve.

Appreciate your thoughts!
