Everything I've seen so far has said that 6.00 is the magic number for this in 
1.0.  There's still a healthy bitrate jump from 4.99 to 5.00, but it seems that 
the same exists for most of other quality levels as well.

EAC can as well.  In fact, it was the first Windows ripper to do this, to my 
knowledge.  Drives that do good ripping can go wicked quick though.  My LiteOn 
40X burner rips anywhere from 16-28x in EAC's Secure Mode, depending on how badly 
I've treated the CD over the years.  :-)
