Half-step + granny setup here, and the big ring is 46t, so not in the OP's specifications, but... It's very hilly where I live and I like to maintain a fairly consistent (& high-ish) cadence, so I definitely get use out of all the rings. I'd guess I'm on the middle ring 40% of the time and the rest split between the big and the small. I love the half-step setup- it means more shifting, but with the right rings/cogs you can get a very evenly spaced spread of ratios and pretty much always be in the 'right' gear.
