I drove both an a8 and m6 before buying. I have noticed no issues like you mentioned. After driving both, I felt the a8 kept the engine in the power band more and overall felt spunkier. I hear the lag you feel between shifting gears in the manual can be defeated by no lift shifting, but I didn't try that on my test drive, and I don't feel that's something I would do myself if I had bought a manual...
I've been very happy with the a8, no regrets here.
