i guess the benefit of having SRM is that it wakes you up when you enter the wrong gate as the engine rev's up electronically, but you get a moment to fix the situation before you clutch-out so you dont have mechanical over-rev.

mechanical over-rev = not nice to engine.
electronic over-rev = bouncing off rev limiter = no issue.
