Being that you have a diesel (unthrottled), downshifting and lighter throttle doesn't hurt your efficiency as badly as a gas engine. Also, whether it's worthwhile to punch it, slow down, or downshift depends on how much power the engine has. If it can't hold speed at less than 80% throttle in top gear, you're probably better off slowing down.
