Not sure what you were trying to say here...
If you go full throttle at, say 3000rpm, doesn't the Step downshift by itself? In my experience, it will. The paddles seem to work as a way of 'suggesting' a gear. It doesn't offer full absolute control. This is why you don't need to shift down to 1st everytime you come to a stop as the Step does this for you automatically.
