Good answer VQ, but when do you sleep? You seem to be living on this site. Gotta unplug sometime, NEO.

one advantage you get most of the time is a taller top gear. A bit quieter and bit more economica cruising on the highway without sacrificing performance. Most flexibility with 6 gears instead of 5
