Re: Here's my interpretation
Why should potential buyers listen to your speculations on how involving the tip will be when none of you (except maybe RC, that sneaky devil) have driven either version and those that have, including credible sources such as EVO, CAR, Autobild, etc. have all stated that the Tip is less fun and less involving. It sounds like most of your assumptions are based on wishful thinking rather than the respected opinions of journalists who have actually driven both cars. Wait till you drive both versions before you make your decisions. I hope all of you tip buyers won't be disapointed but have a feeling you might. 
It's like it would hurt their ego to buy the manual car, because they couldn't shift it as fast as Walter Rohrl could. Instead of relishing the process of improving their driving skills over time with the manual, they go the instant gratification route of having a computer take over half the workload and miss out completely on the rewarding experience the manual provides. But I suppose most of those guys just like the stoplight racer consistency the Tip provides that will have their girlfriends swooning over them evertime. Here's a toast to computers that make driving a sportscar EASIER not more fun. 
OK now...how old are you? 
If you think Tip is wrong for you, don't get it. Don't blame it on me, I'm just a messenger.
