I am a bit surprised at the step between 1st and 2nd !
It's not surprising, it's normal if one understands gearing.
In worked in transmission engineering in the 1980s (not gearing). I know enough to know that the customers perception of a "quality" shift has a lot to do with ratio step size.

Not the mention of the ability of second gear starts when the low first gear is not necessary.
Second gear starts seem very logical, but, from a stand still, how does the transmission computer know whether to start in first or second or possibly even third ?
Under heavy loads, I'll bet it never shifts to 8, 9 or 10 ! I can't wait to see a tow up to Eisenhower Tunnel !
