I also have the standard Mitchell with 26%, and I think it is perfect for almost all uses. Anything much more than that is going to be too tall for some uses. As mine is, I cruise on the freeway at 60-65 mph very comfortably, and I still have my normal Model A gearing for around town. If you ever drive in hill country, 2nd OD is very useful too. I love my Mitchell and would not have a Model A without one.....
