Steve, the 4.44 ratios in in the forester lend themselves to really high RPMS at freeway speeds, which isn't what Mike wants....

I believe 4th and 5th are still plenty high, at least from what the XT folks say.

FXT gear ratios are exactly the same as the WRX, the only difference being the final drive at 4.44. It appears the case is the same as well. I don't buy the claim that it's designed for more power because the FXT is 15 less hp than the WRX.

Using the same gear ratios and assuming no driveline loss, you're looking at a 10mph difference in 5th at 3500rpm. (3.9=90mph, 4.44=79mph) My gas mileage is bad enough now.
