My Insight seems very happy at 1200rpm. It's only when it dips down to 1000 or below that it starts to sound/feel rough.
That said, a taller 5th wouldn't be of much use in this car on level ground, much less hills. I feel like Honda nailed the top ratio. I wouldn't mind closer spacing and an extra gear where the current 1-2-3 are though; RPM nearly halves with each shift.
