I know it's not quite the same, but I would think if anything the lag would be longer, allowing for neutral from any gear.

I don't think so, its not a conventional auto but a computer controlled manual - think VW/Audi DSG but cheaper. It has 3 modes, lazy, sporty and F1 - the first two are auto and the last one is flipper stylee manual. In F1 mode its a sequential box, so to go from 4th to Neutral I assume you have to flick 3-2-1-N and do the reverse going back, but there is no clutch pedal to disengage. I haven't driven it yet to find out though.
Since then I've had a chat with a Toyota dealer and he has suggested the best approach with MMT is to avoid it.
