Well, you can go outside and ask those gearbox repairer/expert which gearbox is more cheaper to fix, less issue & longer lasting if maintain well. I bluff you got what to get from Proton? Since they are now not selling 6AT anymore what they want to pay me? If they are paying me, should ask me to push about DCT gearbox benefit more and not the old 6AT.
Not all GB built the same, the 6AT from X70 is problematic, meanwhile the DCT since launched till now did not hear any complaints from most of the group I follow.
Previously there is even a GB repairman live video taking the DCT from X50 apart and he is confident that this is DCT is very robust, also look at all the reviews critic how slow the gear shift which improve the longetivity
DCT robust only in it's gear as it is using similar gear design like manual but with dual clutch design. The main problem will be the mechatronic which will control the gear/clutch change, this mechatronic is way more expensive compare to like normal AT bodyvalve system when things starting to fail.
The one used in the Geely is very Mechanical compared to other DCT that's why the gearbox guy say very reliable

Found the link, you may go ahead and watch, is a long ass video where he talk about X70 6AT GB and X50 7DCT gb around 30mins mark
He do have other video where he critic the CVT from Proton as well.
i talked to few SA bout x70, many of them just ask me to buy new alza instead. seriously. for better peace of mind
Maybe because Alza they get more comission? I heard Proton have been very stingy in term of comission.
+ if ask u buy Alza, they don't need to waste so many saliva to convince you and you will automatically accept when there is problem as "rare" case. But when it is Proton u will cry mader cry fader regret this and that.
Trust me, a lot of these is in your mind sometimes.
lol. my SA friend didnt even get commission bro, i go to perodua at my place i have families. i am unker level now btw, 7 seater senang
SA words not credible 1 lah, they just sell car only and seeing you worry so much about Proton scare you come back haunt them is easier to just ask you go for other brand, or else later losing even friends.
With sizable family u definitely need the extra seats, no brainer just go for Alza x90 personally I felt too expensive
