Edit: I just went out and tried it without a throttle blip. Worked just fine.
Are you jamming the gate?

Yes, I did rev match and the ride is very smooth. Just going down into 4th had a slight blocking before slipping into the gear. It didn't take much force to get it in there and the rest of the shift-action was smooth.

Sounds about right to me. I'm just trying to get an insight into what to and not to do/how to do things correctly.
