The max 800# limit was extremely pessimistic, and included me, my wife, possibly my kid, and groceries or something.

Given multiple solutions to a problem, my votes for the one that you can fix with a rock. heck, you could have a spare double sprocket and chain, and essentially role around with a spare sub tranny for like a 2lb penalty.
Give me reliability and ease of repair, anything else is bad engineering, and we all know what happens to naughty engineers...
