I ask this while fully admitting I have no history of car ownership apart from the bathtub I currently drive. From my point of view, this will be a big upgrade and wouldn't mind since I don't plan on tracking or anything like that.
Not really. If you need to get somewhere, you'll be above it. If you're just cruising in that rpm range, there's still enough oomph to get up and go, just not as much as if you were to downshift.

If it really bothers you after you've been driving the car for a while, a stage 1 flash minimizes it, and a stage 2 flash with header completely eliminates it.
