Cross-field runs occur in about 4-5 seconds with it from stop, which can really save time

Assuming you used 6" wheels (which is what the OP has), did you do an analysis to see how much faster cross-field runs from a dead stop would be* if you had more than just the CIMple box's 4.67:1 reduction?
* and less current draw, and quicker acceleration and easier control in tight spaces
