Difference in feel (grunt/torque) between 4.8 and 5.0?

Any of you who can compare the low-end and mid-range grunt of the 4.8 to the new 5.0?

I have preferred diesels because of towing capacity, but could be tempted by the new petrol turbo due to the increase in torque. I am mainly interested in difference in how strong they feel, not 0-60 numbers. Example, 4.8 kills the diesel 35 (3.0sd) in a 0-60 sprint, but in real life, on the highway, the diesel feels like it is pulling stronger when you overtake. It also feels stronger when you tow something.
