I don't believe that cruising (not accelerating) at 2000 rpm in 5th gear is labouring the engine. There still seems to be adequate response at this load/rpm range and no strain on the engine.
Also, I don't think that cruising at such high revs (3500rpm) is an adequate solution to the problem... apart from the the adverse affects this will have on my fuel consumption. ;)

Cruising in 5th at 60Kph is fine, the engine will pull smoothly. My WS has 4000Km's on it and is getting better and better, if your car is causing you problems I would whip around to Ford and tell them to fix it ... don't forget to say please, they like that :sm_headba
