Indeed it could be, and 'better' is really user defined. I know I am going with the manual, despite my SA (and long time friend) trying to convince me otherwise.
Truth be told, I need to try these back to back, which looks like might happen later on this month, but as of now little can make me sway towards DCT. It will in all likelyhood be the last ever M5 offered in a manual, perhaps one day will be looked at like the last aircooled Porsche (993)
PS: there are a couple of people I know in Europe getting the M5 in manual through diplomatic channels, so not all Europeans think the 6-spd should be ditched
