The gearbox ECU does adapt to driving style as far as I know. I need the S button for fast overtakes as I spend most of my time cruising below 3000 and if I floor it the car kind of looks up from its knitting and says, "Did you want to go somewhere dear? Just let me get my handbag..."

all it does it hold gears for longer, and let it rev to the red line.

Ohh and it also locks out 4th, will always stay in 3rd no matter what speed you do...
Only on certain firmwares.  All newer ones will pop into top when you run out of revs in 3rd...

Remember with tractors, redlining it isn't necessarily the fastest way.  Sports still increases revs before changing, and changes down earlier, but not as pronounced as the petrol maps...
