This is all wrong.
You will not have less drivetrain loss (it will be more or best case senerio equal), it will not shift better than MTX. It will shift more consistantly but a good shifter with a stock MTX will have the edge.
It will still weigh about 100 lbs more
It will still have less gears and a taller final drive ratio
It will never have a limited slip option (which can be installed in MTX for far less than LVL 10 service).
For these reasons, you will lose to an equally equipped MTX car
It is not cheaper, its 2-3K!!
Look at the dyno numbers...it is giving up about 20 FWHP more or 14% more power loss c/w MTX!!! Spend $3000 to at best to get the 20 HP back and still weigh 100 lbs more!
The guy said he likes to shift...why push him toward Level 10???
