So nothing like particular star clusters known for nice colors and fun planets, then? 
But yeah it seems like range benefits you twice since not only is each jump longer but when you plot a course to get somewhere your route is straighter so you need to cover less total distance. If I get tired of this I'll just put it down for a bit but definitely come back to it later. I'm like a tourist with this sort of thing so I don't really get tired of looking and finding cool stuff.
