Manual transmission in LA: Am I stupid?

Hi gang,
I just drove a brand new 9-3 Aero convertible in a 6 speed automatic from Saab of Santa Monica. I LOVED it! BUT, it was a 6 speed auto, and I am an east coast diehard purist manual driver.
For all you west coasters......am I stupid in thinking that I should order a new 9-3 Aero Convertible in a 6 speed manual, knowing that I live in the LA area (although I work at home...for now, that is).
I WILL be ordering a 9-3 Aero convertible in Nocturne blue...should I go 6 speen manual or auto? Something tells me if I get the auto, I will be regretting the the ability to shift on my own. BUT, those times are few and far between. And I DO have a 9-5 Aero wagon automatic...as my other car.
PLEASE HELP me come to my senses.
Cheers,
Paul H.
9-5 Aero wagon (auto)
'91 900TC soon to be traded up to an '06 9-3 Aero cvt.
