Here's a snippet of conversation between myself and petawabit:
...i have a set of innovative engine and tranny mounts with the 85a durometer bushing. They've been used for roughly 3k miles. I love how they feel and how direct the shifting feels (the massive torque i get at around 3k rpms has been more amplified now and there is less delay I need to give between shifts for the engine/tranny to settle from vibration).

Reason why I've been looking at removing them is because of the gf's complaints It shakes the cabin a fair amount more (especially since the stock ones were sooo soft)...
I believe his are the one step down from the most-stiff. I hope that provides some insight.

Thanks.
Yes it does steer me in the right direction.

But if anyone else has more feedback please feel free to chime in.

Either one would be a good option. The 60 will only be a slight change over stock. Should give you a little less vib of the motor, and still retain close to if not the same feel as it sits now. The 75 will be a bit more aggressive but probably be your best option if you don't mind a little bit of vibrations.

In my opinion if your going to upgrade it then make it an upgrade that actually improve in that area, and do it right the first time. I don't think you'll be dissapointed with the 75

Innovative is a very reputable company too! No need for those ETD when you utilize their mounts.
