EGS gears. Experiences, opinions?

While normally a stick driver, I just bought a car with EGS automatic transmission (it was a special offer).

EGS is a conventional manual gearbox with a sort of robot device that operates it. So, you drive it like an automatic.

Advantage: No energy loss; in fact it has better fuel economy than a manual because it uses the gears more optimally.

Drawback: Somewhat more bumpy action than an old-fashioned automatic.

Has anybody experiences with this?

Efficiency? Reliability? Maintenance costs?

The car in question is a Peugeot 2008 with a 1200cc 3 cylinder engine.
