If you use DCT as it's meant to be used, i feel it's just as "fun" as MT. It shifts just as "hard" and is crisp. When I don't want to shift manually anymore, I just pop it into auto. Now I haven't driven the 8 spd auto, but it doesn't sound like it drives or shifts the same way. Anyone driven the m5?

I'd argue that if you're talking about dropping the clutch and shifting "hard," you weren't using a manual the way it was intended. If you don't know how to drive a manual properly then I wouldn't expect you to see its benefits.
