The pedal effort of the OSG is no problem at all, its similar to a stock clutch. Its the resolution of control you get within the swing of the pedal that makes it difficult to drive. Fully engaged and fully released feels like its about 1/4" apart. I am sure its more, but thats how it feels. To push the clutch pedal enough to feel any hydraulic resistance at all, and you are pretty much disengaged at that point.
This is just my experience, and its possible that different slave cylinder arrangements could drive much differently (should their displacement and travel ratio be different than mine was).

I haven't noticed any particular "on/off" feel of the twin plate that you mention. It's obviously firmer to depress the clutch pedal, but other than that it feels like using a "normal" clutch to me.

The soft cover gives less clamping force than the hard cover, but I have no issues with any slippage using the soft cover with twin plate with a supercharged 450WHP. With the soft cover it's not as hard to depress the clutch pedal as it would be with the hard cover, that's the reason I went with a soft cover. I had no issues with it on the track either.

we have installed many of both, i can say 100% OSGiken is the better made unit. drives better, feels better & manufacturing quality looks better.

A multiplate clutch doesnt mean it has to be an on/off feeling clutch. Each one can have its own characteristics.
As for the OSG appearing nicer quality than the ATS... Its been some years since I looked at my ATS and never held them side by side. But that clutch lasted me over 5 years before it started slipping, so I wouldnt worry too much about how pretty it looks inside the bell housing.
