Default 373 vs 410

Not trying to make this a debate I'm just curious on why everyone goes with 410s in an auto. I drive A lot on the highway and everyone keeps saying stay away from 373s this car is still a daily and like I said it is driven on the highway a lot

When I had stock gears I would get about 20 mpg on the highway. Once I had 410s installed I took a trip with the wife from Indianapolis to Atlanta to see her parents. I managed 23. Driving 75mph. I was trying to get good mileage and I felt like I did. Im happy with my choice. My future mods made the decision for me easy as I track my car on occasion. 410s are a good DD gear. Its not like you cant drive it. Even after I had the torque converter installed it turned out fine. At first it took some getting use to but once you get it. Its like another DD on the road. Don't sweat about it.

I know you guys have autos but I DD my 4.10 manual and don't have a single complaint. I average 25mpg highway to and from work with a mixed average of 18-19mpg.
