That is interesting, but you can get at least a little of these benefits by running a 7 speed Shimano cassette body while keeping the 135 mm spacing instead of 126. You can do this either by retrofitting the shorter body on a later, 8-9-10 speed hub, or by retrofitting a longer axle on a 7 speed wheel. I've done this and even with a 130 mm spaced rear wheel the remaining dish is very little.
Why does JJ choose those rather odd and large teeth combinations? They would do very well, for me, on pavement with, say, a 52/42 ring combo or, for closer gaps, with a 52/48 half step ring combo. Of course, those are meant for off road use, but you'd still want pretty large rings to get a usable series.
