Welcome UltArc.
Please don't feel any need to justify your purchase. It's entirely sensible that you're choosing a vehicle that fits the needs of your career.
I suspect that you'll be pleased at how that vehicle's strong low end will enable nice early shifts around town. My mom's V6 SS Impala climbs hills at well under 2k - no problem. So that extra power ought to help you hold high gear pretty long.
Sounds like you're on the right track - keep us posted.
Too bad you had negative experiences with users on other forums. Hope EM is different for you.
