I've never owned an MT so have no preference. In fact when I'm hitting canyon roads, I prefer having paddles at my disposal that way I can always have both hands on the wheel which gives me more focus. Would love to experience an MT car on such roads however, my perspective may change.
Yeah that's how I was too, but I recently switched to a manual m2 and its' been a fun experience. Changing the gears yourself on a canyon road is another level than using the paddle shifters. And I usually don't find myself changing gears on turns so taking a hand off the wheel for a moment hasn't been an issue.
Although I do miss the DCT when I'm stuck in traffic.
