I have been riding the AT DCT a bit and it's impressive how well the "auto"works. I can still shift up/down manually. But the bike does a DAMN good job most of the time. I lowered the seat and no problems with height or weight. Once moving it is very well balanced. 1100 ccs are no joke
Moving the thing around the garage or drive is a chore and I can't get it on the centre stand

Neighbor's R1300GS has a power-lift center stand. O.o
I didn't need the power lift, but that's only because the "foot lever" on the center stand is so long it needs to fold out of the way, on top of the center stand folding up, so that it doesn't get in the way of the passenger, and probably also in the way of leaning the bike.

I took a very short ride on Patrick's AT w/ the dct. It worked pretty well. Seemed plenty fast to me.
