Default How many of you have had ECM flashed for harsh 2-3 shift?

I was just reading the TSBs for my 2001 GS300 on edmunds

i noticed this one
http://www.edmunds.com/maintenance/r...tner=edmunds#2

Code:
Component Description:
2. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE 	
Bulletin Number: 	00502
Bulletin Date: 	OCT 2002
Vehicle: 2001 Lexus GS 300

Summary:
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) CALIBRATION UPDATE. HARSH 2-3 SHIFT CONDITION DURING ACCELERATION WITH LIGHT THROTTLE INPUT. ( NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 10000250 )
it happens that my car has this problem sometimes
it annoys me when the car jerks when i give it some light input on the gas pedal when its shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear
but since my car is out of warranty, i would probably have to pay for this done at the dealership

for those who have done it, is it worth it?
any real big improvements?
