3K to 3.5K here. I generally cruise around 2.5K.
The risk with always waiting until about 5.5K is, as you mentioned, excessive wear. The range you cruise in is a bigger factor. You should keep a closer eye on wear components, seals and fluids. If something were to start leaking you'd loose fluid a lot faster. If you stay on top of maintenance it's not a very big deal.
