Pretty much agree with Dave's summary.
But, in my case, I think I'd like a wider gear ratio spread on my 5-speed rather than more gears. I do enough skip-shifting the way it is. In fact I think that if I had a 3 or 4 speed stick tranny with a tall enough top gear, I'd find that satisfactory. About the only time I go through all the gears is when I'm accelerating at a higher than normal rate, or if the car is heavily loaded.
Disclaimer: I am a flat lander so maybe the Hill People need more gears.
