I have a 3:08 rear so I don't think the lack of OD will make much difference since my truck doesn't get driven often.

Ditto for me. I had a 700R4 all ready to install, then discovered my rear end ratio was 2:73. OD trans are the current rage, but that is just a bad combination.
I went with a Turbo 350; no, I won't win any stoplight drags but I haven't missed adding a lockup kit or adjusting a TV cable at all.

PS: I live in a mountainous area and haven't missed the constant up-and-down shifting on hills either.
