And, you can probably only get one or two shifts from 2nd to 1st whilst moving faster than 10 mph before your 915 explodes.

Yes, agreed.
At 30 mph, better off in 2nd above 3K than in 3rd.
2nd is the workhorse around town so there's no getting away from lower rpms than 3K but that doesn't necessarily mean it's lugging the engine, it all depends on the throttle.
