Bottom line, if you want to use a Tremec, the only one that makes sense is the Magnum. And even then, you are very close to the upper rpm band here they like to shift.
Stock rpm is doable, 9k - not so much.
Dedicated dogbox is nice, but they require an infnite amount more servicing.
I wouldnt even mind the unfriendliness on the street so much, but the service interval reminds me of a top end job in a shifter kart.
Im personally looking at the Magnum, even if I have to mangle the tunnel.

Well all good information to work with. The Magnum is super heavy though!
A "dog" box is not the same as a "sequential. " Something like a PPG dog box or even a syncro (dog is just the engagement type) set don't really require any extra maintenance. For easier daily driving with dog engagement you just double clutch your upshifts and its not a "crash" box then.
A sequential can require more maintenance but most likely that's a scheduled "race" maintenance. I'm sure using your clutch when not racing would lengthen service intervals immensely.
