It wasn't a difficult choice for me either. The ESS DirectShift unit and flash are nicely engineered solutions that have been designed specifically for our car. Things like the torque limits of the DCT gearbox have been taken into account, and this was important to me because I don't want to run into issues with the drivetrain because I've abused it. Eeking out a few tenths of a second extra mean little once things start going wrong.

As for the experience itself, the car is a verifiable beast. I used to switch out of normal mode as soon as I started the car due to the throttle lag and lack or responsiveness. However, it's much closer to what sport mode was like now, and Sport+ mode is now unbelievable.

The actual installation process is seamless and you can't stuff up your car. I think there's a 30 day trial for it, why don't you give it a shot?
