Does the chip bring this down, so there's a lot more power at, say, 2.5 - 3k? Is there a noticeable "jump" from having little power to loads at (say) 3k (as stock), or has the chip evened things out a lot and made it pull much better all through the revrange?

A little, but not really, the character change is not so marked as with the One, but it's an improvement none the less. Take a look here for a visual representation of the Cooper chip: http://www.superchips.co.uk/curves/minicooper.pdf
