I’m still tossing up whether to go to a shorter third (a 21:31 / 1.476) to keep things tighter in that 2-3 range where I do most of my spirited driving. Bumps RPMs by 350 at the 2-3 upshift though, which might be too short? 7k shift drops to 5.1k vs 4.85k.

I will add one comment that wasn't part of our discussion last night. I had mentioned that what I'm making/stocking these days is more limited than it once was, and we are making more "packages" of gears.
I left the 1.933 2nd because it was the gear you had requested. If you feel like the 1.476 stacks too closely on the 1.933 second, you can always go with the 2.00. The package that gear is actually most often used with runs a 17:35 2.06 2nd gear.
