My reservations about that automatic are as follows:
How easy is it to get in and out of neutral, especially to/from top gear?
Can it handle flat-towing in neutral?
How low will it allow me to hold a gear? Will it step in and "rescue" me from a "wrong" gear selection?
The price. I don't need / want an automatic, and I especially don't want to pay for one.
