My opinion, only...

Yeah, when you just cruising around (stock converter) its no biggy to start out in 2nd gear. 1st gear is really aggressive and its not needed when you're just cruising around.
But with my 3200 stall, I don't want to start out in 2nd gear. That will just keep me under 3200 rpms for a longer period of time when cruising mellow off the line. I think that's probably why my tuner set my car up to drop to 1st when in manual.
I'll be talking to him soon and I'll ask him.
