Otherwise I think you just get used to driving at constant power, ie anything above 5500 revs has full power. So shifting up leads to no drop off in the rate of acceleration, unlike in the present S65. On the other hand, accelerating in any gear after 5500 revs leads to a reduction in the rate of acceleration, again unlike the s65, which maintains constant rate of acceleration until redline.
It's different, that's for sure.

Your rate of acceleration is most certainly going to fall with every gear change, regardless of how long max power is held.
Each consecutive gear would require an increase in power equal to the same percentage of difference between each gear ratio for that statement to hold any merit, and that doesn't even take into account any drag, which increases exponentially with speed.
