The deal is that the stick is not among the better ones out there, and in addition, there is less and less reason to shift your own gears as automatics have gotten a lot tighter and more efficient than in years past.
Only the wide spread adoption of electro-hydraulically shifted manuals will make me change my opinion, and that is after 35 years of shifting and stepping on the clutch. In real world terms, the Aero automatic has more usable performance than the stick version, and it is a lot smoother. The only apparent drawback in my mind is the 1-2 MPG loss in highway mileage with the auto.
