Using the gear ratios published in the press release, we can find the RPM in the next gear when shifting at redline. Knowing that torque plateaus at 406lb-ft from 2,650 to 6,130rpm, we can calculate the power in the next gear. As you can see, the starting power falls quite significantly below 460hp in the lower gears:

Re-assessing your post, you're stating that the 6MT is too wide spaced and could do with a few gears more to keep it on power after shifting up. So actually, you need to get the ZF8HP instead of the MT.
