It does drive more like stock (with 35in tires). The extra 150-200RPM's does help but it still down shift in certain spot on my way to work and in some places it doesn't downshift anymore so.....
When it does down shift RPM's go to 31-3200RPM's @70 and pulls the hills no problem
I went with 4.88 to keep my MPG, on the freeway i get 18mpg and in town i get 14.5-15mpg and i average 16.5-17mpg per tank which is real close to stock for me.
