I figured I'd follow up since it's been about a month since I started this thread:

Still not one instance of the high idle issue since re-capping the EDS computer. Not one. Considering I was having it happen 2-3x per week, I'm reasonably confident in saying that repairing the computer solved that issue.

A/C still has not done it's rapid-cycle behavior on the highway. It cuts in and out as you'd expect it to based on temperature in the cabin. It stays engaged until the fan cuts way down and it reaches setpoint, then begins to cycle. Currently not really an issue since the weather is nice enough for windows-down and/or Economy mode.

Kickdown switch has been working like a champ! Gone are the days of repeatedly mashing the pedal and praying for a downshift. Poke it and let the transmission do the work.

Idle improvement is still there too. I occasionally get a rough idle, which I think I tracked down to an air leak in one of the fuel lines to the lift pump. Since replacing it, the idle has been much improved for the last few days. Even with the leak, I still was not having the car-rocking idle issues I had before the EDS computer was re-capped.

Through and through - improvements all the way around in terms of refinement.
