Well, lets put the cards on the table:

1) On a AutoX you wouldn't be using 4th 5th and 6th so the 6 speed tranny will benefit from its stronger 1 to 3rd gears.
2) The 6 speed transmission's shorter gears also will benefit from greater acceleration
3) The 6 speed transmission ultimately shifts smoother than the 5 speed transmission

I say yes, go for it. Remember, I have had two Evos, a 5 speed and a 6 speed.
