Even though aero with no gear change may move you lower on the load scale and farther from the bsfc island, you are still using less power, so that usually eclipses the decrease in gm/kwh.
aero + gear change can provide more than the sum of their independent changes.
aero + smaller engine is the next logical step (and just deal with slower acceleration)
