if i say 42T will you have a try?
see, you think you feel more comfortable if you have 14T, means 11,12,13 are heavy for your comfortness.
you prefer to have 14T to 17T close ratio because the gear inches is around 65 to 80, that's most people comfort gear inches too on cruising.
in order to ride in the 11,12,13 close ratio range, you really need downsize chainring to 42T.
not sure if you could get 42T easily or not but most 42T is from 52T/42T dual chainrings.
i do have a 41T single chainring, because i can't get 42T so i bought this.
to be honest most of my ride im on 13t with current 50t. depending on ride style sometimes is 12t and 13t switch a lot between this too. 13t and 15t also switch a lot. thats why i say if i have a 14t will be nice to use. 11t seldom use. sometime doing power sprint i use 11t and ride to the max. with my current cog 15t then towards 18t i think that having something in between will be a bit better which is a 16/17t. thats what i feel la. hehehe...see, you think you feel more comfortable if you have 14T, means 11,12,13 are heavy for your comfortness.

so far i have not tot of 42t chainring. sounds like a lilttle too small? if i compromise too much on the high then the low gear will be super low?
