i was actually thinking the larger stature of a 4500 might help my aero. My trailer is a 44' gooseneck with additional height (2'6" extra) so the taller truck in front break the air and reduce some of the large flat area on the front of the trailer.

an FL is i think going to be too much. Its just a larger vehvicle than i need or feel like driving.

FWIW- my experience is/was towing enclosed gooseneck race trailers, an 11' tall box. The aero is a much bigger factor than anything else- just like wetted surface area of a boat, lots of box to slide through the air. I can get a digit or two better mpg if I slow down to less than 70, but on a 20+ hr trip going cross country it adds up too fast.
