Default Is second faster in the auto?

I bought an auto about a month ago. Before purchase I test drove both drivetrains. The manual shift from 1st to 2nd was not as fast as the auto and lacked the ability to quickly force the rpm's into third gear. I found that the auto had less lag and rpm's rose much faster. Im sure there will be plenty of manual afficionados that will say the shift is as fast as the person shifting, but I feel that I am pretty adept. Just wanted to hear some thoughts about this topic?

Oh!!! This could be very important.

The 6 speed I drove had a very rough idle. In fact, had it not been for that my wife would have agreed to the 6 speed.
