Do you have some intel on next year's game? It certainly would have been overkill for Recycle Rush, but next year's game may call for fast climbing or other need for high traction while at speed, for which 3 CIMS would do better than two, even after taking brownouts into account.

As the high gear is only 4.89:1, a single stage is adequate (11 tooth pinion, 56 tooth bull). Adding a second stage would cause more frictional losses than a single stage.
