It's also influenced by trans fluid temp and throttle position, so if the fluid was cold and you didn't give it much pedal, it might feel a bit more granny shift-ish.
Also best to have VDC off.
And throttle response on both AT and MT needs to be tweaked.
Anyway, like I said, you can turn the shift speed and firmness waaaay up with Osiris.
I'd try a different one or see if someone around you has a tuned one to play with before you decide... That said, if you prefer a MT, go for it!

I drove a new 2012. It was cold out, but I could tell that wasn't the issue. At part throttle, it just takes time even in manual. I felt very disconnected. I'm going from a high ten/low eleven second car to this, so a tenth or two in the 1/4 is the least of my worries. I just want the most fun, and after driving the a7, I personally, for me, feel that m6 is the way to go for me. I'm not taking a swipe at the a7 other than to say yes it was a tad indecisive, its just not my thing, but I wanted to give it a go rather than regret it later.
