12V98 saying you don't need more gears is based on your subjective opinion, but you don't have anything to compare your 6 speed against. You might just find that the pickup runs better with it (I don't know if you would admit that, but it just might). I would at least give yourself some room to acknowledge that the 9 speed, if that is what comes, might be of benefit. What if it made a good pickup, even better? You don't know, what you don't know.
I have not said one word negative to a true 9 speed ALLISON. All I can tell you is how my truck performs in the mountains with LONG 6% grades towing more weight than MOST.
The slight speed improvement if any would not be a reason to change out from a trans that simply does not break.
Think about how much time you are towing in 6th it's no different than towing in 9th.
