Charles,
More and more, it seems like OD is a sure winner.
As far as vibration goes, it's not like there's a specific vibration
problem, just the general problem when you take a tiny car and run its
engine at 4500 rpm down the highway at 80 mph. It's not unmanageable, but
over a 90 minute period it starts to get to you.
Put it this way - in my MG, I *know* I'm going 80 (as fun as it is, I'm
still acutely aware of it). I also have a Saab 9000 with incredible gear
ratios, and with that car I'm often startled to look down and see the
speedo says 87 - I wouldn't know it otherwise. (And I don't like to go
much over 80 lest a local constabulary might think the less of me).
I think I'ma gonna do it.
(well, I'ma gonna pay someone to do it :)
Thanks for your comments (and thanks to everyone)
