Depends on your definition of "long hills." If your definition is Rockies/Sierra Nevadas/Cascades...etc., you will have to downshift to 5th or 4th anyways. Taller gearing for the 6th gear would make more sense for every day driving as it would allow lower RPM at highway speeds w/ better MPGs. Plus the car/engine is meant to be shift, hence the AZ6 transmission. No problem going down a gear to pass a car for 10 sec and back into 6th.
