How much of your commute is highway? Are there many hills and is the traffic bad? If its fairly flat and traffic isn't too heavy (doesn't sound like it, as you use cruise), you could probably get to top gear and set the cruise and be fine. There's generally not too much shifting on the highway. And really, shifting isn't that bad. It becomes second nature after a while and makes automatics feel boring. Plus manuals are usually lower maintenance, or at least cheaper when they do need fixed.
Do you know someone who has a manual car you could use to learn/do a few test commutes with?
