Unfortunately I want the best of both worlds but can't have it. I like the current gearing for off-road use but the current setup sucks for street use.

I have yet to buy a China Bike that wasn't geared to climb telephone poles. Too bad you can't squeeze in one more tooth on the front but it would probably hit.
As you already know, round figures, one tooth more on the front is worth about 4 teeth less on the rear. Four teeth less on the rear would be a nice compromise and I think you'll be surprised at how much nicer it will feel on the road without giving up too much on the trail.
