Default New "clutchless" tranny (as seen on new BMW M's)

Yo, I was wondering what the deal was with these things. On the BMW site they say that this thing can have you shifted in as fast as 80ms! So, does this thing really have an advantage over old skool shifters or not? Obviously it still has a clutch, just no clutch pedal; I like the idea of not having to do the labor, my foot gets tired....

Yeah, if anyone has some info on this, please disclose it with me, eheh Main question: For performance, would you want this on your car (given the money and as opposed to traditional manuals) ?

Here are some links to make sure we are on the same page here:

The first link is the more explanatory and concise one.

Thanks
