The auto may not give the 100 millisecond shift time that you get with the MC-Shift (when warmed up, in sport mode, above 5500rpm and with the additional 10bhp) but it has advantages all of its own. Mine was bought purely as a weekend, country lane toy, so for me it had to be an MC-Shift or Strad, but I can see why for most people, especially those using it to commute, the auto could be more convenient.
Also, for a car of the same year, spec and mileage, the auto is a few £k cheaper to buy as well as to run (no clutch).
Not sure many people would notice the 100 ms difference in shift time as you are insinuating. But the sound is different. And people do notice that.
