As long as you're staying on top of things and staying up in the useful RPM range, it acts like a DCT or auto-sequential would.
On that note, does the engine brake well using compression to slow down like a manual coming to a stop. Hate the coasting of most automatics where man will slow down till it sputteres. I don't use trans to actively brake shifting down but let it assist gently and work it a long w/ brakes. Know what I mean?
