Dumb question, but why would you want a 6 speed if the top gear isn't an OD of some kind? The whole idea (for me anyway) is to lower your RPMs at the top end for better cruising and MPG. Seems like you would have to change your Primary drive ratio to compensate.

That's my prime reason for going with the S/E. On a long highway slog, I want the engine turning slower so I'm burning less fuel so I make fewer stops.
