I own BOTH, see signature.
To be honest the DSG is pretty much better than the 6 speed manual except for fun.
The DSG launches like mad, shifts quicker, is (normally) smoother, and is far less effort than my 6MT.
On the 6 speed manuals side
It never gets confused what you want it to do.
I get complete control all of the time.
I get clutch control (I get none in the DSG).
Requires less maintance than the DSG with 100K fluid intervals, and my last clutch only got changed around 175K because the Flywheel quit.
