Interesting debate - I think taking a step back from it all, what's great is that, at last, there is a genuine choice between a superb manual transmission and a very well executed PDK transmission. The choice is now, for some, an agonising one because both possibilities are that good.

Before, it was a choice between a superb manual transmission and a truly ancient (and IMHO awful) Tiptronic S gearbox. People usually chose the latter due to its practicality (e.g. for city commuting) - not for its performance (except for the unusual example of the 997TT with Tip S being quicker). That was not a choice between 2 transmissions aimed at the same kind of usage or the same kind of driver.
