I have the translogic fitted. Not sure about the "learning". Took a while to get it dialed in, and it doesn't blip downshift. I also fitted aftermarket levers to shorten the throw of the change. It's no where near as good as my 1199 shift was. The Translogic guys were really helpful, but being at the other end of the country from them, I'd have probably had an easier time if I'd visited them. I get the impression that the DVT box is never overly happy with the quickshifter.
Worth noting the Healtec one definately doesn't 'blip' in order to do this you need the throttles to actually blip (which would require RBW throttles also). All the Healtec one does is facilitate a ignition cut on over-run when the lever is touched, which may work in terms of allowing the gear to move but isn't a proper blipper.
Thanks for the input everyone. On the balance of the all the experience here, I’m gonna stick with manual shifting, the risks feel too great for the possible advantages
I wouldn't worry about not having an auto-blipper on downshift. For downshift, the clutch is faster IMHO. All you need is the upshift QS. Personally, if owned a Multi 1200, I would definitely buy the Rapidbike fuel controller to smooth the torque dip combined with its QS option. I already have such a unit previously used on my Panigale which I will eventually port to my 1260. This thing works like a charm. My Monster 1200R's ECU was already flashed therefore I purchased the Annitori QS Pro product (upshift QS only) following this very detailed and honest response to my question about a downshift QS option.

We have looked into these, but have decided to this point not to add this to the QS PRO: Adding an auto-blipper that works even halfway decently makes our $200 product a $800+ product, which is not the idea behind the QS PRO. We sell GREAT technology at an even GREATER price, so that anyone from a CB500F, or R3 or FZ-1 to a full blown racebike can use one. Most of our riders just want a shifter for the fun of using one while riding or doing track days, not looking to add 10% to the cost of their bike for minimal benefit. Adding a QS PRO can take seconds off your lap time, because the QS PRO saves you the time wasted and acceleration lost when manually using a clutch. When downshifting you are already off the gas, so auto-blipping has almost no effect on the performance aspect of your ride. Your lap time and fun factor is going to be improved using the QS PRO; but virtually the same with or without a blipper. What about the convenience of using an auto-blipper? Yes, it is a convenience, but for many of the reasons listed below aftermarket blippers give very little back for the expense or effort…? Any modern bike, when off the gas, can downshift already without the clutch. We would guess you have done this on your bike already? They can do this because… Given the prevalence of slipper clutches on modern bikes, and the extremely tight gear ratio’s of modern sportbikes, most downshifts from the higher gears are almost as smooth with or without a blipper. Lower gears are a bit more “jump”, we agree. But it is exactly this that leads to the problem with almost all aftermarket (not OEM) blippers: Auto-blippers, except the OEM versions, from our experience, are VERY limited designs; because to truly do it right you need to know many, many parameters. How much “blip” you need at one rpm is completely different from what you need at another rpm. Then you add in all the possible gear ratio’s to all these possible rpm’s (not to mention all the possible changed gear ratio’s you may add to your bike with sprocket changes), and you have an incredible mess of how much blip you need. The amount of blip you need at 12,000 rpm’s in 6 is COMPLETELY different than what you need at 5,000 rpm’s in 2nd. Which means you are wrong most of the time with whatever setting you choose… All of which makes it even harder to do it right unless you are tied into the bike in a huge way, like an OEM version. Without being tied into EVERYTHING on the bike, aftermarket auto blippers usually just mean added expense, added possible problems, added reliability questions – all for virtually no gain in performance. Oh, and always remember – using your right wrist to blip the throttle is FREE every time. That is not to say that auto-blippers are not useful, just not sure at this point that the aftermarket has found a solution that comes even close to being worth the expense or effort. Does this help explain why, even though we could, we have chosen not to get involved with blippers yet?
