Well, I haven't driven a 722S before, so I don't know how the paddle shifters feel. Hopefully it's not one of those tiny plastic toy-like ones
.
Let's assume the paddle shifters on the 722S give great feedback and allow the user to be engaged with the driving experience akin to a race car. The "side to side" thing can be eliminated so the only thing the driver can use to change gears manually is via the paddle shifters like a Ferrari. By eliminating the poor design, it will eliminate the illogical shifting experience, hence, making the overall experience more genuine. But yea...if I want to do some spirited driving in a Mercedes, I'll stick to the paddle shifters.
