Anyone have any experiences with the M22 wide ratio gear cluster?

Larry at D&L said I might want to consider it but after studying the ratios and considering my typical driving habits, I'm sort of thinking the standard CR gears would be better. Looks like I would just be swapping a big 3rd to 4th gear gap for a big 1st to 2nd gear gap and the 3 - 4 is only closed up about half of what the CR gear set accomplishes.

My engine is a bit weak off idle for a BB due to the cam, heads and intake but with 4.11 gears it should get off from a stop OK.
