While there's nothing wrong at all with a 56, the wider and higher torque curve of a high HP engine doesn't, generally, need the extra gear to keep it sitting on the sweet spot. Then again for general road use the 56 gives you an extra option for cruising.

When I first started looking I found the 56 was a good option for that very reason - but it wouldn't fit in a BDR. Now that they do fit - well, the choice is hard. The 500's and 600's have the bullet-proof reputation.

Choices choices choices.
