Personally, comparing the 6 he has vs the 10 sp. He should appreciate the 4.5 1st gear vs the 3.5 he has from an easier starting standpoint. Then being as lower gears are spaced closer together, rpm range used should be less.
This should also allow a higher RA so lower RPM at 60-70 like he drives, still a lower overall low gear to start with.
Possibly even able to computer program to not use first unless really loaded, or on a grade say steeper than 10%.
I'd like these option with 1500 4.3 V6! I'm only a 300/300 gaz motor with 3.42 gears! This this pulls better in first than the BB 3sp pos TH400/4l80e transmission with 4.10's!
