I've found that the RS gearbox has different behaviours. The R gearbox is more nanny state and I find that I regularly get 2 gears on a shift (as I shift at the same time as the car) or it decides it knows better and shifts early, particularly when it decides to downshift and engine brake when I want to roll through the corner on the torque.

Talking to some friends who have RS cars, theirs don't do that.

It's the behaviour that turned me off buying a DSG car (plus I enjoy manuals anyway).

After I installed the JB1 I had Hardings TCU tune it delivers exactly what your after, in S mode it's much more restrained and won't change down on part throttle letting you use the torque more often through corners as you mentioned. I cannot comment on the 7 speed will see when it arrives.
