I suppose double the torque sorts out the extra weight of the derv.

Ah - that's why then, I've never really pushed mine up that way, I found it was faster to short shift and ride the torque, as the curve is so much in favour of the low end on the L-series....

As you say, it matters not if you can afford it & you have fun in the process!
