For anybody that reads this thread and has a hesitation issue as well, try new plugs first. I gained 12 mpg on the highway, and I think it eliminated the hesitation completely. Now what i feel I believe to the the "normal" lean burn transition. Mpguino verified!
Before I couldn't hold 70mph with the bosch plugs, and now I have no problem holding 70, except that i'm trying to keep it in lean burn as hard as possible and sometimes just have to give in and give it more gas to maintain speed.
I did this swap to get better gas mileage of course, but I don't want to change my highway driving habits of 70mph on cruise. We will see how it turns out.

I noticed a slight improvement in holding lean burn when I changed to the correct plugs but very very slight. MPG didn't improve at all, possibly got worse for me. Your symptoms sound very similar to mine though.
Also, I'd like to add that I have 60psi in my tires and still only averaging 42-44mpg now. When I get a chance I'm going to check out the resisters in the L1H1 per TomO's request.
