Default T56 magnum vs TCI 6x

Guys,

These two transmissions are up for consideration for my project.

I know one is manual and one is auto, but what are the real world pros and cons off one over the other in terms of perf, driving feel etc?

I like the idea of paddle shift and have also always wanted a rally car style sequential shift with a little kick when changing gears and I think I can simulate that with the 6x. Also for track use, the 6x will be able to shift faster than me.

But I have always hated auto boxes with TC because they feel slow to bite on launch compared to a regular clutch, or a DCT trans.

Then there is also the extra parasitic power loss with an auto trans?

How much of my fears are justified with the 6x? On paper it looks great!

Cost aside, what would you choose? And why? Not worried about missing rowing gears, more interested in scientific/factual reasons

Cheers
Amit
