Yes.... You just need to anticipate the shift or else you bounce off the limiter and it cuts power for what seems forever....

Also you lose less revs with MDCT....since the shift with 6MT takes longer your engine revs drop more and you lose more power (remember power is a function of torque multiple by RPM).
