Arrow Downshift into 3rd not as well matched as others

I normally drive in manual mode. When I slow down for a red light in the city and downshift from 5-4, then 4-3, then 3-2 (I don'normally let the transmission down the 2-1 on its own), the 4-3 shift is definitely the most noticeable and feels as if the throttle blip is insufficient. I'm usually off the throttle for these or even on the brake slightly. I'm downshifting when the revs reach 2000 RPM or so, although the 4-3 slight jerk will happen at most reasonable/casual engine speeds. Has anyone else noticed that the 4-3 downshift is the roughest?

Thanks.

Yes I noticed it's hard, but not all the time only when going slower in sport. A little spirited drive and it revs match 4-3 smoother.
