I have no experience with either box but just for another point of view that kind of aligns with what Jake said, I test drove a few Miatas once. The later years have 6 speed boxes. The 5 was fine but 6 was just a pain in the butt. It was just too many gears. To get up to freeway speed you have no choice but to go through all 6, but the engine is never telling you its time to shift. Maybe for racing it would be different but for everyday driving, more gears are not always better.
