I have not owned DCT, but had a manual e46 M3 and manual 997, 911s. I chose manual in a C4S over PDK because the PDK was one extreme or the other. No middle ground for normal driving. I've had an S4 with DSG and it was pretty good, but I bought that one used and probably would have opted for manual if I had ordered the car.
The DCT is so good, though. It's fast and seems to have a sportier drive than your typical non-manual in comfort mode. It is driveable as a daily, but can wake up instantly. That being said, you're always engaged with a manual.
I really appreciate the thought out responses and questions. Have you driven a manual F80 or F82 Frank? I hope you don't have a long wait on your car.
