At the expense of top speed in every gear. So when you shift to the higher gear you are slower comparing to the longer fd. About the torque dip it'll pass it faster, but this is not a reason to go to a shorter fd ratio. Only if you feel lazy and don't want to downshift.
Anyway, I think the subject is complete. It doesn't matter to discuss it more.
