I agree, it is quite possible to still over-rev the downshift. I know I did it once by accident. But still, it's much easier to take your time since the revs come back down due to the heavier flywheel if you over rev it. Just take your time and it'll become easier and easier. I was actually quite shocked how hard I had to blip in order for it to match properly.
