If you're going to upgrade your DCT pan you might as well go all the way and get the solution that's been tracked extensively --> SLON
I don't see the SLON as superior in all cases, just another approach. The SLON adds more volume if that's a priority, but doing so causes it to potentially scrape, and because of that volume/shape, the spacer makes beautiful sense. The Fall Line adds ~half of the additional capacity which prevents scraping and negating the need for a spacer. The pan under the pickup is no lower than stock, so there's no room/need for a spacer.

Personally, I will take extra clearance over an extra .5L. But for a real track car, SLON may be the way to go (also higher baffling).
