Default Lost 2nd on the 60

Trying to decide between a built 4l65E or 4l80E. Can the first gear of the 80 be changed to something similar to that of the 60?

Looks like a $575-$650 upgrade:

http://www.transmissioncenter.net/4L80E.htm

or about$700 for the parts(low gear planetary): http://www.tciauto.com/gm/gm_4L80E.htm

to get to a 2.75 1st/1.57 2nd

Not sure that would be worth it. Or just put that money into a converter??
