For me, spool difference of even a few hundred rpm can make the difference of whether the turbo is in boost when I come out of a corner, or whether I have to wait for it; which then inturn governs whether I'm happy with the entire setup or not. I want my turbo to hit like a lightswitch at 3300-3500rpm. I'll either use the accelerator to modulate this if I want traction, or I'll keep it buried and enjoy the fact I dont have to clutch kick my car anymore to hang it out.

Different strokes for different folks. To be honest though it was the response around town that impressed me the most about the bigger ones. Wide open pulls from low rpm in 3rd or 4th gear is where the difference is most noticeable, IMHO.
