❓ QUESTION Emira vs Evora downshifting?

This question is mainly for those who have owned or driven both.

On my 2017 Evora 400, the clutch switch is used to cut the engine momentarily when the clutch is pressed. This makes casual downshifting more difficult than any other car I've driven. Blipping the throttle produces a little exhaust pop but you really have to lean into it (and wait) to get the engine to actually rev. My understanding is a blip shift module or a tune can be used to eliminate this, but I haven't got around to it yet.

Does anyone know if the Emira does this?

I have an opportunity to get an Emira FE 2.0 so I'm considering if I want to make the switch or not.
