You will not only be able to see the difference in downshifting on the tach but feel it as well

I always almost always keep it in S5 and maybe its just me but I like to get more than a 100 rpm blip when Im downshifting from 3-2 at around 40-45mph
I'm driving 355 miles tomorrow, I'll play around with it and try to see what you're talking about.
