I dont know, Just_Me, but a valid question to those who have experience with 7 gears. Now that yo have some drivers on the M5 forum, perhaps you can get some real perspectives. Ask your question and mine out there, perhaps we can get some first hand insight!!!
You see, im not really interested in charts and theory, just pure, raw, first hand experience.
Thanks for reposting the question in the thread on M5 board, i will keep an eye on it there too...
