Absolutely.
More area under the torque curve.
Shirley a set of cams and a re-map (or manual ECU to go with the manual conversion) would extend the top end, for those of us who DO like to use all the revs. Chance to lose the boat-anchor exhaust manifolds while you're at it, too.
LJKS was probably right, though; one would ideally have a manual and a slushbox, according to one's requirements on that day!

“I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
