Chris judging by your avatar I'd think you'd still like it anyway right? Just making an analagy since we have no numbers and definitly not an attack on you.

If you got a fatter mid section where the power under the curve was higher and in a broader rpm range, wouldn't you rather have that at the loss of (I'm guessing) only a few HP up top? For road racing who really cares if you lost 5hp from 7k to 7.5k rpm if you got +10 from say 3k to 6500 where the car spends more of it's time.
