What makes you think it will be less than optimal? It will very likely launch better than a DCT because the torque converter will help magnify torque and you won't have to fiddle with sophisticated software to keep the clutches from self destructing like with a DCT. At speed it will upshift faster than a PDK. And downshifts will probably be very good too. And even if it was a few milliseconds slower on the downshift, that's not something anyone will notice or care about. And it will possibly also be chaper, more reliable and easier to fix than a DCT.
