+1 that...once one goes into manual mode i.e. they touch the paddles and it thinks you want full lunch power it will redline until you back off for 2 seconds in which case it will call their bluff. It takes a little getting used to.
I personally never thought I would get it, but as mentioned I had no choice. I will say I really enjoy both. PDK is a whole lot smarter then me most of the time, the only thing it can't do is look down the road and anticipate like I can.
I find it good at two things, in sport mode driving aggressively it is amazing how it knows how many gears to down shift going into a corner for full lunch out of the apex. Tap the brakes lightly you get one downshift, press them a little harder and you get two or 3 downshifts, it's pretty kewl. The second thing it does well is save gas when just cruising around. Sport Plus mode is a whole other animal.
All that being said for mid aggressive driving I will enjoy getting in my 986 manual and taking control. It is nice to have both.
