I, too, am a longtime fan of manual...until I drove the DCT. It rev matches for you, so no need to worry about heel-toe shifting. If you plan on this car being your DD, than the DCT is the way to go AND you get the N55, which (not to start a N54 vs N55 debate) seems to be less temperamental than the N54...though they're both great engines. It just depends on your needs.
