If done even fairly well, double-clutching w/ heel & toe will take some load off the synchros. Also, if you match the RPM's , there is no need to "row" down thru the gears, just go straight to second. If you "skip-shift", you'll reduce the number of shifts on the gear skipped, lessening wear. Don't downshift directly to 1st though, too easy to get the RPM wrong, go to 2nd first. Besides, 1st is geared too low for almost anything but standing starts. The best reason to DC/HT: it's great fun!
