I've been slowly coming to a similar conclusion. The dip is there but I only feel it when I'm revving through it, from low rpm to high rpm. You are right - in high performance driving you'll never see that low of an RPM. And any tuning that removes the low rpm torque bump will take away the around town low rpm driving fun.
This car really has 2 personalities: one with low rpm grunt for around town and highway spirited driving, and one for all-out balls to the wall track driving.
The dip only rears its head when tranisitioning between the 2 personalities.
