I guess I hadn't thought of that much about it, but it probably would be cheaper with out the vavle bodies and other intricate parts. I would just hate to find out what happens when an actuator fails. I'm also curious as to how the clutches wear and how much they are. I guess if you are buying an Audi with the DSG you probably don't worry too much about that.
