Yes ZFs latest reincarnation of the T-7200 series is a great improvement. But still 5 ranges, while 3 ranges with 8 speeds would give better field performance i.e. no need to shift during field work.
DSG gearboxes, the idea seemed great but the wear is bad. Ford recalled thousands of vehicles and VW has its share of problems.
While on the other hand, ZF introduces new fully automatic planetary transmissions with 6/7/8/9/10 gears, where they claim 13% reduction of fuel consumption of the 8 speed versus the 6 speed because of smart ratio choices and power paths with only two open clutches with less internal friction.
I'd say this one extra open clutch versus a DSG wont give that much extra friction, but gives greatly improved simplicity and reliability...
