For what real gain?

Aye.

Either.

Aye, and a 0.80 5th gear at the same time.

Not in a hundred years.  What if it breaks?

No, IMO you go as far as you need to to get what you want.  I've never, ever felt the need for a 6
speed.  (Hell, I have a 4-speed in the car now - suits my needs - granted, not the same needs as
yours).  Seems to me that guys who've done 6-speeds get their benefit from simply saying that
they've done them.  Bragging rights, as it were.  Again, IMO, a ridiculous bang-for-buck.  As in
virtually none.  With what I recommend above, you're going to have a load of $$ into it as it is -
but it *will* be one sweet tranny!

HTH
