So it's mainly a cost issue then? It's always kinda annoying that, for example, the big Lambo has the inferior single-clutch while the baby Lambo has the superior DCT. They should at least have the option for DCT.

Anyway, I prefer DCTs due to the lowest power loss, right, even compared to MTs? For sure it's better than slushboxes. The faster shifts/lighter components, etc, are just added bonuses.

I personally never felt anything significant/tangible to say that a DCT is clunky, it performs well imo given there are actual clutches being operated, so how can one fairly compare it to a true AT whose primarily purpose is smoothness? Doesn't make sense to do that. Ofc it's way smoother than MTs, but anyway, that's not a main selling pt for me. I like sporty cars, I don't really care about ultra-comfort.
