Transient response outweighs any criticism of too little top end.

Many people will end up with too large turbos and realize that while they make 400+ peak who their car sucks to drive anywhere except the track (or unsafe highway pulls). A large portion of the STI crowd is like that: GTX35 turbos and gobs of power...above 5K rpm.
