Which t-56 for 5.7 hemi

Just out of cuirosity, why so attached to the T-56? Wouldent an 833 bolt up no sweat with a plethera of ratio's to choose and pair with the pumpkin? Even an OD unit at the cost of strengh? Im honesty just woundering. Other than +2 extra gears? Which is justification enough i guess...
Nothing against anything here, I just don't like a one trick pony. My T56 is an 833 1st-4th gear and then its 168mph in 5th at 6000 rpm and 2000rpm at 80 mph in 6th. Any transmission that can be bolted to a 318 can be bolted to a GenIII.
