I personally would be ok with a slightly worse visual (production wise) for a cohesive, well acted story with a few more episodes.

Same! I care more about the story and acting than visual effects. In my opinion, season's 1-4 of GoT didn't have phenomenal visual effects, yet were the best seasons due to their story and acting.
