Default Can the TIP chip maintain stock driveability under normal loads?

I just wanted to see if the chip makes even light, every-day driving agressive as well. I just don't want harsh shifts under light loads or part throttle...
any opinons are helpful!
Thanks,
Jeremy

i have vast stage 2 and 3 chips ... you will notice a slight increase in drive but when you put it in tip you will really see the difference

I like mine. Shifts smoothly and no issues in regular daily driving. but it shifts faster when needed, allows more TQ, car does fell faster

So I'd only really reap the benfits/notice a difference in tip mode? I usually only drive in D, very occasionaly in S (maybe 4 times in the 14 months I've owned the car), and only tried tip a few times under normal driving conditions (not WOT).
So if I chip the car (leaning towards APR) and do the VAST tip chip, would I not see a difference shifting in D?
Thanks again,
Jeremy

THE APR chip in itself will be tremendous power/torque difference. The tip chip wiill really help the gear hunting and slow upshifts and downshiftswe experience. MIne shifts beter ni D too but I drive in TIP mode most of the time.
