Campy '15 Front Derailleur Behaviour

My Chorus '15 front derailleur has about 1500 miles on it, and, noticing that it was occasionally throwing the chain off when shifting to the big ring, I adjusted the limit screws. I adjusted it enough that I needed help from the LBS to get the cabe tension correct again. I was surprised after their adjustment that, when shifting from big to small, the ergo shifter only allowed two clicks at once, which was *just* enough to get it off the big ring. Before the adjustment and since I had the bike built, I was able to push three clicks down in a single shot. LBS guy said that the two clicks was expected so that you don't over throw the chain, and I can still shift one more time after the two to trim. Is this expected? My last bike had 90s-era Ergopower shifters so I have no recent frame of reference.

Thank you!
