At zero I'd be lucky if my fingers would shift anything.

I highly recommend the chain catcher. It made adjusting the FD a lot trickier, but worth it. When I rode a Trek Madone I dropped the chain a few times and got in the habit of trying to soft-pedal the chain back onto the chainring, and it mostly worked OK. With the R3 if it dropped it got wedged in tight, and I probably pedaled when I should have bailed off the bike.
