Well, I don't want to propagate the notion that taller gearing equates to premature failure. Do you have specific concerns, and data behind them? There's a lot of variables in play here, such as lower rpm, which is less stress on a piston engine. I've never had a problem with gearing up, driveability or maintenance.
