More control both up and down shifts... Not as unsettling to the car as the STREET style trannys in the S63 and the R8... while they rev match -- it's still abrupt... and the part I dislike the most is trying to find the f'n paddles!

I think you've hit the nail on the head when you talked about trying to find the shifter. That makes perfect sense. With a manual, your hand is always on the shifter, or at least you know where the shifter is at. In the F1 setting it works because lock to lock is only 180 degrees.
I drove a rental car a few months back, a new Ford Focus with the paddle shifters. Naturally I was testing it all out. That's what got my brain thinking a bit.
