Is there really that much difference in the RPM's between 4:10's and 3:90's at highway speeds??

Get the 4.10's, I have them and I drive on the freeway a lot, I just cruise at about 75 or so. The rpm's will be 400 higher, so if you cruise at 80 in 5th the rpm's are usually around 2500 or so with 3.27 but they will be just under 3000 with 4.10's. Trust me, I thought a lot about the gears before I got them but I didn't regret it one bit.
