The thing I like about this engine is that it feels like a good 3 litre rather than a turbo-enhanced smaller engine. While I would welcome more power/torque at the same lazy revs, I have little use for 40 more bhp between 5000 and 6000.
You get all the new power throughout the whole power band. The extra 30-40hp and 100 odd nm of torque are available from the moment you lift off, it's not just higher up the rev range.
