I would do away with the punch control and replace it with a current limiter. That would allow you to handle the initial power like a current limiter and not interfere with the rest of the throttle unless you set it too low and the ESC would feel flat. It would allow better runtime since less current would be flowed for the instant you would be above the current limit. I always liked the current limiters in the ESCs I had. The punch control is not that useful for me compared to the limiter. Punch control seems like a 2 stroke hitting a power band if you set it too hi. It can also be dead acting until it hits the power band.
