^True statement, but pursuant to ksss post, the Cummins has a smaller rpm range and more cogs would help the option and ability to pick the operating characteristics.
My G56 is a glorified 5 speed with granny gear and I can run 85-90 mph all day but she's screaming. And loaded heavy, I sometimes have to settle on a particular speed that I can pull and keep egts in check vs picking the speed I want and having a gear to accommodate it.
The low rpm range of the C will benefit greatly from more cogs. Moreso than the higher revving V8s in this respect, IMO. More IS better in this case. For everyone.
