IMHO of course <grin>. 11 on the back give you plenty of close gearing for the normal range of cycling and leaves you with a couple to use as bail-out gears.

A new shimano 105 cassette only cost me about 30 bucks. You might be SOL though if you have the short cage DR. But a new 105 5800 GS rear DR or newer probably can be found for 34 bucks or less. Changing the chainwheels on might be more expensive if you can find some that fit that crank.
Everything seems pretty cheap if you look around online enough so I may upgrade all the way around if I can find the right person/deal to install it.
