Who's buying an Auto w/Paddle Shifters?

First off, this is my first post. Glad to see there are others as pumped as I am for the 370. I'm having trouble deciding on the transmission myself. I'm on my 3rd Z and it's an 07 coupe 6speed. I love manuals, but the occasional traffic jam is irritating. My first was a 04 coupe 6speed, then I went to an 06 automatic roadster. I wasn't satisfied at all with the automatic in the 06, but I'm 6'2" and the legroom is much less in the roadsters (couldn't depress the clutch in the manuals). Basing the decision on older z models isn't logical as the 370 will have a 7 speed paddle shift compared to a 5 speed no paddle 06. So what it comes down to is probably hearing reviews on the new rev matching manual. If it works like they say then town/traffic driving might be more tolerable. Has anyone heard any reviews on the rev match manual, also any word on the shift time on the auto?
