NV5600 Conversion, would you do it again?

I know there are a few of you who have replaced your automatic, getrag or NV4500 with a NV5600. My question is would you do it again? More so for those who replaced their NV4500. Right now my NV4500 is a 4 speed (fifth got me) and I'm considering doing the conversion. I've heard some good things about the NV4500's upgraded with a fully splined main but I've also heard sometimes fifth still comes off.

I don't want to run into more problems with this in the future. I'm willing to spend the $$ on the conversion but I don't want to regret it for some reason in the future.

Any opinions greatly appreciated.

Mike
