I went from a 2016 SS A8 (not the A10 you asked about) to a 2018 SS 1LE M6, and I much prefer the manual. Yeah, I know the automatics are supposed to be a tenth quicker through the quarter mile. Perhaps if I did a lot of quarter mile runs that would mean more to me, but since I'm using it as a DD, the M6 is just much more fun.
One thing I didn't like about the A8 was the number of gears. There are too many of them. I found myself searching around with those stupid paddles trying to do multiple downshifts, having to look to see what gear I was in. From my perspective moving to a 10 speed would make that even worse.
With the M6. I have four solid gears to work with and two overdrive gears for cruising. I know the shift points well and even if I didn't have the HUD, I would still always be able to tell what gear I'm in.
