TKO500 or TKO600???

Okay I know now that I want a TKO over a G-Force T-5, but I can't decide which TKO to get. Whatever my choice is I want a 26 spline input shaft which automatically comes with the 600, and is optional with the 500. So it comes down to gear ratios. The 500 has a 3.27 first gear which I think would be better than the 2.87 first gear of the 600. However the 600 has a better overdrive than the 500, but I don't cruise of the highway too often so it's really not a concern. My car is my spring/summer daily driver. Which TKO should I get?
 
I had the t-5 with the 3.25 first gear and now I have the t-5 Z with the 2.95 first gear. I love the 2.95 much better than the 3.25 due to you actually get to use 1st :D I also have 4.11s though so thats an option and I do like the over drive as I'm in it pretty much all the time.

Makes sence, as well as reducing the gap between first and second.

how tall are your tires? just curious...
 
After doing a few searches and researching, I'm leaning towards the 500 as I feel the gear ratio will be better for me due to the fact that I have 3.73's in the rear and run a taller than stock tire out back. If I had 4.10's and a shorter tire than I'd probably be considering the 600.
