The upshift indicator isn't meant to aid your daily/normal driving...it's meant to assist you in aggressive/spirited driving. I set mine at 7500RPM, so when I have my eyes peeled to the road and my pedal to the metal, I would know when to prepare to shift (blinking at 7000RPM) and when to shift (solid at 7500RPM)...
under normal driving condition, I know when to shift by the roaring of the engine...I really don't know what RPM I shift at, just whatever feels right at the moment and feeling I'm driving....but when driven on the track or when you're trying to achieve the best time, you want to be able to maximize your powerband...thus, setting the RPM indicator helps preventing you from over redlining and also premature shifting....of course, everyone sets their indicator at a different RPM because each we all respond differently when we see the indicator flash...
