The only time it shifts for you in M-mode is it will downshift for you if you let the revs get way too low, as in low enough to lug out the engine, way way underneath the powerband. 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?
