The Savvy one is also a sequential right? Up/down for upshift/downshift?

Can AMT(or in this article, SMT) really perform rev-matching like mentioned in this article?

SMTs can also perform matched-rev (our double-clutch) downshifts: When the driver downshifts, the SMT disengages the clutch, shifts to neutral, and re-engages the clutch. The SMT calculates what the engine RPMs will be in the next-lowest gear based on the current road speed, and revs the engine (and, since the clutch is engaged, the transmission) to that speed. It then disengages the clutch, shifts into the lower gear, and re-engages the clutch. The result is a smooth change with no jerk and no sudden deceleration.

EDIT:
@hypermount.
Now I see the AMT costs half as much as an Auto.
Wow, higher tech but at a lower price.

I see, well that's enough to put me off.
I want to practice heel and toe.

Hehe, I know it'll be more fun. But I want to try good ol' manual first.
