Here's my 2¢

I purchased a CX bike for my winter - foul weather bike. Since I live on Long Island there are no hills over a few hundred feet and I rarely ride over 25mph, unless going down hill.

Yes. IMHO, cassettes with a two tooth jump before the 19 cog are unacceptable for road riding. I rode 13-21 8 cogs, 13-23 9, and currently use 13-26 10.

Since you are riding a single speed now, just get with the 1x. If you are able to spin out the 40t then get a bigger chainring. You’re going to have an 11-42 cassette. It’s not like you won’t be...

2x. There is just no benefit to 1x for pavement. And there is no benefit for 1x on gravel in most situations/areas. Its a trend pulled from MTB.

I road bike my Revolt and love it! Def 2x for dual purpose use, I can spin the 48t to 35mph, and have plenty of lowend with the 32-34 for climbing.

As for the Defy, it can do some gravel, but the...

I like to spin a cadence of 95-100, except on hills where 82-87 feels best, so I prefer 2x since it allows me to do that at every speed from 6 mph to 36 mph. My newest bike has 52/36 and an 11-34...

40-11 is 26mph @ 90 rpm. 48-11 is 32mph. Good on you to ride at your age (hope I can be as lucky), but anyone slower than a pro who actually pedals would be fine with a 40t chainring.
