Z33 6-speed, or Z32 5-speed, or T56?

I have a project that will be using a VQ35DE(TT) and I need to decide what transmission to use. I want my RPM's at 60MPH to be about 1900-2000. While the 6-speed seems natural (just select the axle ratio and be done with it), 6th in the 350Z trans is shorter (.79) than 5th in the Z32 box (.75). As the VQ has a wide torque curve the extra gear seems superfluous (read, it slows down stuff like 1/4mi times). What would be ideal is a 6-speed in which the first 5 are the same (or close) as the Z32 and then 6th be an even taller overdrive. Has anyone adapted a T56 to the VQ35?
