The SLS has the same gearbox as the 458 Italia,
Mercedes just turns it down a bit, so that it's reliable.
Search "458 gearbox reliability" and then "sls gearbox reliability" so NO they should not f** with the software - Mercedes tries to build a fast and reliable car, not just fast for a little bit and unreliable fire catching car

Porsche have no issues with pdk, even at their first attempt on the 911 997.2
It's even better on the new GT3. MB can do it - no excuses. Needless negative for great cars. And it has stopped me purchasing after test drives, both on MCT and DCT. Even the ubiquitous ZF 8 speed is much more responsive on up and down shifts..

That sounds pretty darn good to my ears. The car also looks very, very composed. I also noticed that on shifts, the car doesn't 'pop' anymore, instead it crackles. I love it.

I found it quite muted compared to the M159 powerplant, it is somewhat hushed with the forced induction....I guess this is as good as it gets.
