Honestly, with ZF8 it comes down to programming. Sure the difference in shift speed is objectively higher for the DCT but it is pretty imperceptible when you're driving hard. When you're not on the gas, that's where I noticed more "smoothing". But I'm sure when they adjust the transmission tuning for the M cars, it will feel like a more special experience than the standard cars.
I get the hesitation around replacing the DCT, but I think a lot of people will be surprised in a good way by the ZF8.
