So you got options for a 33x36 low gear matched with a 46x10 top gear or a 30x36 with a 43x10 top gear.
I’d be curious to hear how that compares to the range of a triple. You might get less gear duplication with a double vs. a triple.
Here's a comparison to what I have on my touring bike. For touring I'll take my 9-speed triple over that 12-speed double 10 times out of 10.
