like stated many times here... it depends on application whether or not its worth the money to the buyer. if your only putting 400-500 hp who cares if it will hold 900-1600 hp?
for someone like me who doesn't have any desire to put out more then 400-500 hp and am more interested in street cruising a trans with a better first gear and better OD ratio is a better choice for me. if the GV was only $1500 NEW then maybe i would compromise and go with a shittier first gear and OD ratios.. but for the money i'd rather go with the better ratios that suit my needs better...
again it all depends on the application. not sure whats so difficult to understand about that...
