I've found that it's different. I have one bike with a compact double and one with a triple. I do find that when I'm in mountainous areas with my CD, I often wish for another easy gear or two. I could get them by changing my freewheel but I'm too lazy and cheap to do that right now, so I deal with it. I've never had to walk, so I figure I'm okay.

When I ride my triple, I'm never displeased with it. My future bikes will have triples, but that's just me.
