It's more important to me, the guy who wants to stat all of this. I'm not personally trying to grow crops there. Plus, people grow crops just fine on Earth, even with the "interesting" weather. So that's patently not an obstacle to growing crops- I'd say you're wrong, there. The 0.615 of a year is just harder to work out in game terms.

All the climate geeks. They'd certainly be stable compared to a world with an axial tilt! There'd be no seasonal variations. No monsoons. No return of the westerlies. No hurricanes. Etc. You get very stable weather compared to Earth. I'd rather not speed up the rotation than speed it up and not give an axial tilt- at least that would be interesting. A hassle in many other ways, but interesting.
