Personally I would just remove the Alda and see how it shifts, if it's okay just leave it off. That's what I did a year or two ago, shifts are okay a little hard but I probably don't have every adjustment quite right etc. You might have better economy w/ the Alda. Regardless I think this could be compensated for if you're just smart about how you drive.

I remember when my OB got stuck on, (however it works). Car was seriously slow, like 50% less power.

These days I find it hard to need anything beyond half pedal travel.

You could figure out a "kids" mode on/off
