True. You'll probably have a real seat-of-the-pants discernible
gain in everyday riding.

The whole fixation with maximizing peak power, almost always at
the cost of mid-range, is often a net loss for real world riding.
Even manufacturers will sometimes go that route in an effort to
deliver market expectations. But not because it's the best
solution.
Only so that consumers -feel- they have more.

A warm an fuzzy type of thing.
