At one point I was running a TA Cyclotouriste 46/26T double on a climbing build. Two derailleurs handled this 20T jump nicely: Huret Jubilee and Suntour continuous band. The Huret handled it the best, and the couple of times my bike dropped a chain (due to my own fault for not adjusting the limit screws) I could rely on the Huret to rehang it without stopping.
