I like the 4 tooth difference, since I have 17/21 Surly Dingle cogs on two bikes, which gives 67.5" and 50" with 42/38 rings.
That seems low on the top end, but seems to work. I also have a 15t on the flip side for a 76.5" gear. That spread works for my riding, where a 2 or 3 tooth gap does not. The 4t difference is minimally viable for road/offroad, or flat/climbing. For me. Ideally... a FIVE tooth difference, 43/38 x 16/21 would give me EXACTLY what I want: 73.4" and 49.4" with 38mm tires. It would also give White a fixed or freewheel cog with a greater range than Surly, which would be another differentiator to justify the higher price. I think White's ENO line is focused on off-road singlespeeding, not on-road or all-round riding.
