Why would you? The STEPs are marginally quicker than the MT's.. The DCT may be marginally quicker than the STEP.

Using that same logic, do you regret your MT purchase being that the STEP is prob .1-.2 quicker?

You do not buy MT or a STEP for the difference in .1-.2 seconds... you buy it to fit your needs. MT typically enjoy being more connected with the driving experience. AT guys, may not like the idea of rowing their own boat, or may simply do not know how to drive a MT in a spirited manner, heel to toe shifting etc etc.

I can drive MT to get from point a to b. I'm not going to stall or grind gears... To me MT seems like a chore... others love it. Am I confident I can drive in a spirited manner and achieve results anywhere close to the STEP... not at all.

to each their own.
