Overdrive (ie; US Gear) VS trans upgrade ...

We've got an 1975 Argosy 26 footer. The 454 turns about 3000 RPM at 60 MPH with the gearing (TH400 trans) it's got ... I hate to turn an older engine any faster than that. We've been thinking about an overdrive ... cheapest = about $1600 at US Gear. I can get a rebuilt TH 700-R4 (basicly a heavy duty TH400 with a 30% overdrive) for much less.
Has anyone out there in the listening audience tried this ??
