"sport auto" or "auto"

How many are opting for the "sport automatic" over the standard automatic?

I've driving MT for a very long time and love it.
I tried an automatic in 2000, but couldn't handle it, I got too bored.

These new automatics are pretty nice though and very quick.
Plus, I'm getting older and my left leg is getting a bit tired.
I REALLY wanted the DCT, but BMW doesn't offer it to us even in the sport line or M-Sport. IT would have been ideal option for a "sport line" or "M sport".

So which one are you or did you go for, auto or sport-auto?

BTW, if you had the option would you take the DCT over the torque converter auto?

I still haven't read anything that actually compares the "sport" auto vs the standard auto.
It's only a $500 difference, but I don't want to just throw $500 on something just because BMW calls it "sport" and charges more for it.
There's strangely very little information about this sport auto even from BMW.
