It'll be interesting to see how the DSG grows on you over the week.
I'm of the same opinion as you with it but, like yourself, I've not spent a huge amount of time driving them.
A friend of mine had a GTD DSG for a few days and when I drove it I thought it didn't drive anywhere as near as nicely as the manual GTD's I'd driven, the DSG made the car feel like it had much less torque.
Then my friend took the wheel, banged the DSG into Sport and within a few minutes he demonstrated things I'd never been able to do in a manual GTI never mind a manual GTD.
The thing is, that was absolutely flat out and once back into normal driving I didn't like it again.
