You should have bought the MT!

I got the CVT because my last car (350Z) was a 6MT and I got tired of driving it daily in Atlanta traffic.
How does the MT beat the CVT on downhills and in the city? Just curious, I'm still learning all of this.
The Accord Sport has paddles shifts that allow me to shift the CVT manually (7 virtual gears).
I feel like the CVT does a good job of keeping the revs low, but I have little experience.
