The 4l90 is apparently going to be rated over 500lb when all is said and done. That gives us upgraded parts much like the 4l65 did right from GM.
Gear ratios are
4.02 First (silly)
2.36 Second
1.51 Third
1.15 Fourth
.86 Fifth
.67 6th
It also uses a 300mm conveter, that should allow all aftermarket converter people to jump right in. Potentially the current converters can be used but its to early to tell for sure on the pump arrangement.

3.62 first vs 3.06
2.12 second vs 1.63
1.36 third vs 1.0
1.03 fourth vs .70
.95 fifth
.74 sixth
Or the other option would be to go to the 2.73 axle and gain the additional strength of that gearset.
The real advantage is in the delta of the OD. ratio the 4L65 and 4L65 can be made to handle massave amounts of torque through the addition of extra plates and line pressures & calibration, I don't think the clutch to band design has any thing to do with it's limitations.

Your biggest issue is going to be getting around the TCU. It's integral to the valvebody now...I know of another company currently looking to interface thier TCU with it. If they get it to work, it will be a sweet setup. I've used thier current standalone TCU in other apps and it ROCKS!

I don't know if its been mentioned but this will be standard on the new GM SUV /Cadi SUV with the High output Motor/Block making 380 and 400 hp respectively. All other engine configurations will have a beefed up version of the 4l60E.
