So the feedback has been pretty unanimous, and I actually like 5 more now having tested it out.
I'll be posting a second mod that will be identical to this one with the one exception of Minimum City Distance set to (5) vs. (6).

The mod this comment is attached to will remain as is, so that those who either want to finish running saves before switching and/or just prefer 6 tiles over 5 can continue to use the mod hassle-free.
