in daily driving, the AT shift initiation delay is freaking horrible. it is almost as long as the shift itself, and it is a complete pain in the ass to compensate for a delay unless you're doing the same straight line drag over and over again. When i tell my car to shift, i want my car to start shifting, not wait half a second then begin. A delay is not something I want to think about when I'm trying to have fun.

I had no idea the e9x MTs had no lift shift. And that delay you're talking about on the a/t is definitely not a half second. I don't know what cars you've been driving, but mine is nearly instantaneous.
