Most of the times a 6th gear is worthless at all, and sometimes a 5-speed transmission may actually lead to a better mileage compared to a 6-speed. But anyway, instead of a taller 6th, if I had the choice I'd get a wide-ratio transmission with a higher gear spread and match it to a higher differential.
