Comparison:CVT vs. Cooper 5 speed

I have Cooper CVT and am very happy with it. Sometimes I miss the the regular clutch shiftng of a regular manual transmission and am wondering if CVT has same performance as manual Cooper. Anyone familiar with both models?

according to mini.co.uk the cvt gets from 0-62 in 10.4 secs the manual= 9.2 secs also the top speed of the cvt = 115 compared to manual = 124mph!!!

I opted for the manual but in the UK there is not much need for an automatic unless you do a lot of motorway travelling!!

I do most of my driving down country lanes and around town, but I guess it is better idea in the states with all the straight wide roads!!
