With the Fiat, you can finesse and judge gear engagement in a way no hydraulic clutch can match. I love my Boxster, it's overall performance is awesome but it's a bit pathetic that a 38 year old design, clicks into every gear and clutches in a way not available on a modern Porsche. The 944 was the same way, that rubber hub design was lousy.
I've never found modulation to be a problem in my Boxster. To me it's very communicative.

I don't think anyone uses a cable-actuated clutch anymore.
