It's often that simple indeed, but not always...I ruminated over this auto vs manual question, too, and decided to take the auto in the end, even though I knew there would be some occasions I'd miss the stick.
Now I love the A8 about 80% of the time and miss the M6 20% of the time, which is a good deal overall; if I had the M6, I'd want the auto in many situations. The latest flush and having the trans tuned solves all real issues, while performance shift mode and those brutal, swift WOT shifts on the auto are redemptive. The A10 with its faster paddle response would be slightly even better.
....aaanyway, what I wanted to say with all this is that everything's a tradeoff, one way or another
