I had the same TPW as you and I dont have issues with 750 miles on the car. I drive it in higher RPMs too now and often enthusiastically. I heel and toe a lot into second without issues. My 1-2 shift is nothing strange to me, I have driven various other manual cars with high power and various shift feels and the 1LE feel is a lot better and precise in my opinion.

Not sure if the synchros are different 1st to 2nd but in most cars they are because they see a lot more use, which results in those gears having a different feel.

Manual cars are notchy, nature of trans, and is one of the main reasons why many high end cars are getting rid of them. however, you should be able to shift down into second without issues and not hear grinding when shifting up into second.
