You get so much more freedom to focus on perfect braking and corner entry it's insane.

To each, his own.
Like I said, IMHO, there's nothing like a manual transmission for full involvement. I race a 335 in endurance races and am in the car sometimes for three hours straight. Shifting never gets old to me.
Yes, I can imagine that a DCT will allow you to conscentrate more on braking etc, but there's still no better feeling than actually doing it yourself, lap after lap. Many enthusiasts have stated that there is something missing with the new GT3 because it's a PDK.
