Very true but when running along in stop/start traffic, a 900 tickover allows clutch bite with virtually no raising of revs. I find that that with a really low tickover you tend to raise the revs too much or stall it. It's a fine art but the faster tickover makes it easier for me. Mine will run along happily, smoothly, at tickover with the clutch fully out without touching the gas pedal. That's good too.
