I was in the same spot as you a couple years ago. If you're any good at things like video games (requiring hand eye coordinatetion across multiple tasks), you won't have any trouble mastering the standard. I took one lesson and then I was good to go. Sure, I was a little awkward and nervous at first but that was part of the entertainment value.
My 9-3 SE HOT with a 5 speed is a GREAT CAR! Loads of fun to drive. Assuming you're not at a standing start, it has better straight line acceleration than a BMW 330, Audi TT, Boxster, A4, etc. FUN--love that turbo rush!
I have not destroyed/damaged my tranny at all -- 35k satisfying miles so far with no problems.
I won't go back to a slushbox now. Next car will either be an Aero or a BMW M3.
