Here's my impression:

I run a 3.54 w CR. I really like the long 1st and 2nd (especially first, about 60 mph). As mentioned they are taller than the WR gears (hence, close ratio--all gears are more closely spaced).

With that said, if I had my choice, I would do a 3.31 with a WR. I understand the ratios work out about the same, but of course you get the benefit of a lower rpm at cruising speed.

My cruising rpm is about 3400. Something to think about.
