Default 7AT safe downshifts

Have a question for the other 7AT owners out there.

I have a very conservative downshift pattern which I'll outline just curious how much more I could push without causing any grief, below is listed the max speed that I'll downshift into a gear: (bear in mind this is fairly conservative I believe) this is for spirited driving but my opinion is I'm being a bit too conservative and I know I could just experiment but I'm pretty sure this has been worked out pretty well by this point.

2nd - Max 25ish
3rd - 60 or under

just curious when driving along the highway at 70 would you drop to 3rd, or just use 4th?

Thanks
Kevin
