Another thing that's being overlooked is how well a dual-clutch trans matches with a small-displacement, turbo setup. I don't normally track with my GTI, but the few times I have I like how the DSG in that car allows the turbo to stay spooled in between full throttle upshifts.
It's not my transmission of choice but if ever there was an application where the dual-clutch made sense, it's in the 4c as a featherweight, modern turbo exotic. For those wanting a more old-school basic setup (manual trans vs. dual-clutch, NA engine vs. turbo, aluminum chassis vs. carbon-fiber), there are plenty of used Elises on the market.
