Amen, brother. I've tried to double-clutch and can't do it quickly like that. I've also gotten so used to (up)shifting very quickly due in part to the short-throw shifter in my R32, that my downshifts are also very quick and I almost always heel-toe anyway. So the synchros don't do much work as I'm generally in about the right rev range while downshifting. Now, if I need to downshift and skip a gear, generally I have a little more time and I can perform a crappy, overthought-out double-clutch because I know it's more difficult to have your revs and synchros lined up if you're skipping a gear or 2.
