The only way I could envision switching from a manual to a DCT were if it were a daily driver and I constantly had to sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic, like if I were cursed to live in Atlanta or LA. Then I could see a MT just not being worth it in a daily driver.

That being said, I daily an i4 so a manual transmission is obviously not in the cards. While I miss shifting gears on a daily basis, there are enough other upsides to make the loss palatable to me, but YMMV. Fortunately, I have two 6MT Z4s to play with, so I'm able to scratch the stick shifting itch on a regular basis. If I didn't find the i4 so compelling in so many other ways I would definitely be driving something with a stick daily if at all possible.

But yeah, the answer is have both, lol.
