To each his/her own. I for one am impressed with the automatic/tip. BTW, I will own another stick someday I am sure.

My point is, just don't discount the tip so easily, it really is a nice transmission.
All the Porsche race cars are a type of Tiptronic, shifting is custom tailored to the drivers preference via computer.
