I forgot to mention the exhaust is also different with the comp pack, but neither that nor the base exhaust is as good as the M-Performance/Akra upgrade (if you can stomach the cost). A lot of aftermarket options, as well.
These cars have endless computer systems. You can't even just change the battery--have to code it in afterward. I am sure there are shops that can handle the electronic back end of a transmission swap, but I would be concerned about ongoing bugs and unexpected complications. It would be a lot easier to improve a 6-speed with comp mods than to convert a DCT comp to 6-speed tranny, I believe.
But...the MT assembly is a $4000 part ($5000 if you don't have a core to exchange). I'd say that puts your conversion idea into the realm of possibility. If you know a good shop it seems worth the time to ask.
