I agree with what you say about 1st and 5th with the 4.1 rear. Zero to sixty dashes only need one gearchange which is nice and it will lope along nicely in between 65-75 mph in 5th. 'Ordinary' main road cruising in the 55-65 range might me a bit of a pain though, you'd be in 4th at around 3000 rpm all the time.
