Keep in mind the gearbox was designed to work with the engine. Your engine also likes those rpms and as one of the early replies mentioned you should rev it that much and not bog it down with 2500 or even 3000 rpm shifts if you are going to keep accelerating.
No issue with cruising around at those rpms steady state, but if you need to accelerate, downshift before you dip into the throttle.
Each gear has a slightly different sweet spot. On 2-3 if I shift my 3.2 at 6500 rpm I have to wait a second for the loose gear to slow down. If I shift at 6k it snicks in really cleanly.
