a crisp shifting tranny will last much longer than a soft shifting one.

That's hard to say. Generally, everything wears faster when the car is
pushed harder, but driving at low RPM builds up carbon which can kill an
engine over time. The tranny usually shifts more crisply when
accelerating hard, so it's probably a matter of which thing you want to
replace, a carboned-up engine or a transmission.
Anyone care to jump in on this one?
