Don't confuse the suddenness with which the next gear hits with the time that elapses between the instant that the upshift is commanded and when the mechanical bits actually hit to give you the next gear.
It's fine that you prefer an automatic and great that it performs very much to your liking. Really. Just don't give it more credit than it really deserves.

Not one of you real men can shift faster period.

Ronnie Sox would have disagreed (and in otherwise identical cars, put yours on the trailer to prove it).
For me, it doesn't matter one bit that your AT can shift 1/4 to 1/2 second faster than I can, because most days I make up for that by being smoother (I'm strictly an amateur corner-carver where not upsetting the chassis is kind of important, not a drag racer where the shifting can be a whole lot harsher before bad or expensive things start happening).
