Guess it all depends on what you prefer.
This. I did same, also went from MT to DCT. Don't regret anything. I didn't put the top down enough to justify the weight difference. Handling is superior as well with the coupe which I realize is no big revelation. Convertible was a fine car though.

My suggestion is to stick with your coupe and it sounds like that's what you decided to do.

Edit to add: I went from '08 E93 to '13 E92, so there are a lot of other things that have made me happier. Huge improvement to iDrive and technology for example.
