Why does this thought keep popping into my head?...
60mph / 3rd gear / 5000rpm
compared to...
60mph / 5th gear / 2400rpm
It may not be a perfect analogy - and electronics has always been a bad subject for me - but many of the tradeoffs discussed above (and some that haven't) would seem to hold true under this hypothetical circumstance.
I know I'd rather be in 3rd gear.
