His recommendation was "about 4.5" for street use.
After having the 4.5 I can say that 1st 2nd and 3rd shift almost identical to a MT speed which is good in city driving. On the other hand, the difference is much less felt in 4th, 5th and 6th.

I wish I can spare another diff with 4.9 and see the difference.
