Most of them are automatics because they were sold to parents who wanted a Suburban or Escalade type vehicle and didn't want to bother with shifting/didn't know how.
I have a 5-speed too (technically they're 10-speeds I guess because of the hi and low range) and it took me forever to find one.
Some people prefer auto. for offroading but i like manual in general, it's just more fun to drive.
although i must say i think the transmission on these trucks kind of sucks, i have less than 100k on mine and it feels like the syncros are pretty worn. grinds pretty much every time i shift over 3k RPMs

Seriously though, it just depends on they buyer. As has clearly been stated here, there are those that yearn for them and those that couldn't care less. I'd say that the auto is more appealing to the general buying public, but those in search of a manual Disco are more willing to spend a few more dollars and travel further to get it.
If you like it, then you're all set! When you go to sell, post it in the classifieds section of the forums and you'll find no shortage of prospective buyers.
