I guess you really meant 'That would be great.'

I had noticed this, I think, in that it's hard or maybe even impossible to smoothly graduate between engine braking & any throttle in low gears/high revs. What's the motivation for setting it up this way?

Yes.
TBH I still don't know whether you are being sarcastic, but apology accepted either way and no problem. Just PM me if you want to meet up.

Exactly. I wish these 'clever' technical people would stop faffing about with things that worked perfectly well without all the added complexity.
