I think that this is exactly the issue. The MT guys (like me) know our days are numbered and didn't really consider any of the F80/82's competitors since it was the only car with an MT. If the next gen simply becomes a "me too", then all options are open to us. We may still chose a BMW, but we will certainly cross-shop Audi and Merc.
