Yes, good gearbox and system works well now they have sorted the software. You can vary the speed of the shift, with 6 different settings. Its a better system to use in practice than Ferrari F1 system which is nasty in traffic and eats clutches and is jerky to drive I found. Drove a Vanquish and a DB9 Volante and was impressed with the boxes on those as well.

Yup, driven one a few times and the speed it changes gear is stupidly quick. Almost as if it just keeps on revving!!!
