We are learning that turbos like LOAD. The 400 is less expensive than the 80, and guys are running 2.75, 3.00, and 3.25 gears with 28" tires to attain the proper load. I think you can get down the hwy with a 400 as with these ratios, you would probably be pretty happy with a tough trans and have your city driving to boot. If you want top mileage, go with the 80.
