As for the clutch peddle effort, I don't have any problem after my estended test drives in BRZ many times. In contrast, I quite enjoyed my left foot that it had some involement in the driving.

What about NVH in the long run?
The "torque dip" is about 98% fiction based upon some numbers on a piece of paper (or screen I guess). Makes a difference if you are trying to knock a hundredth of a second off your 1/4 mile and that is about it. Even if accelerating through the brief range it supposedly exists in it lasts about a 10th of a second.
