depending how much time you spend cruising on the freeway, the 300 rpm difference between the FD gears may not be worth it for the fuel economy difference and the payback period of buying and installing the FD.

but if the transmission gear shafts between the AT & MT are swappable, then you're looking at a much better difference.
Thanks! that is a really useful chart.
