More fun and you can control the speed of engagement and disengagement of the clutch with your left foot. Can't do that with any DCT or PDK.

The fun for me is in the challenge.
If I drove a DCT it would feel more like "look at what the car did" instead of "look at what I did. .

I debated the MT vs the DCT. I decided on the DCT because I wanted a robot car that drives itself. I get 50 track days per year with the Lime Rock Drivers Club and now that I have a DCT I can just sit in the passenger seat and do hot laps while the car drives itself around the track. Or if I am busy and can't make a track day I can just send the car to the track by itself.
