So rather than spending money to recalibrate my throttle, I've just allowed my brain to recalibrate by getting used to it. I see no disadvantage in performance at all.

Comfort and traction actually have a very linear throttle response. The other modes have a negative exponential response where almost everything happens in the first half of the pedal travel and the remainder does very little. I prefer the extra finesse available at part throttle but as always, YMMV.

If any of you have any experience flying RC aircraft and programming "expo" on your transmitter, you will know exactly what I am talking about.
This is essentially what the throttle tables look like. The problem with sport+ is that you lose resolution. At 69% throttle input you're getting 90% max torque request. In sport it 69% throttle averages at around 75% max torque(depends on RPM). That extra resolution makes a world of difference in some situations.
