To be honest, the transmission in the 4kq has a pretty good ratio- from what I have seen, it was a very popular "upgrade" on the UrQ due to the gear ratios that the UrQ came with. I remember reading several reviews on the UrQ and the authors just ranting about the poor gear ratios in that tranny. I also remember seeing a UrQ at the KAR website with a 4kq tranny- seems like it should have had a 016 all along. 

The UrQ also has a 016 tranny, just different ratios than those
on the 4Kq.  The 4Kq is geared shorter due to its less powerful engine.
The downside is that in 5th cruising at highway speeds, the engine
revs are a bit higher.
