I could feel the difference on my last car, it definitely has an effect. That was a GM T-56 6-speed manual, from a 1999 car. Even if you match revs perfectly, there's a slight jerk in your traction when engaging the new gear on a downshift, which is more noticeable if you're shifting through a curve (as you're already near traction limits). The double-clutch makes it a little bit smoother.
