single chainring or 2

have been thinking for a while about taking the big ring off my cube and leaving just 2,but now i'm thinking i fancy the idea of a single chainring so i can do away with the front mech/cable /leavers etc...
the question is will i regret it :?:

Where I live isn't that hilly and running a 34t chainring at the front on my 29er give's me low enough gear to climb everything. Only a couple of times have I missed having a bigger gear either in sprints or downhill.
And you'll still need a chain guide.

As my riding often involves a lot of log crossings I use a bash so for a chainguide I'm using an inner ring (similar to the ones Raidium and BBG sell) rather than a 'front mech style' chain guide as it also keeps the chain on when back pedaling and looks neater (Opinion....) and weighs less than a Stinger which my daughter uses to perform the same task.
