Yes, unfortunately I know what you mean. Once you start getting in tight situation difference between average, good, and great design/implementation can make a huge difference in final result of what happened.
And when it comes to purists preaching "nothing but stick shift" I always say same thing "You were behind me". So it is whatever works best in the end.
Also, auto is letting me keep both hands on the wheel at all times. It allows for very focused steering and immediate reactions.
P.S. Did anybody notice quite a number of modern high powered cars are "automatic" in one way or the other? It makes sense to me. I would hate to find out what would be consenquences of misshift on 500 ft lbs of torque.
