Why choose a paddle clutch over organic? Benefits?

[TroubledSoul]

Hi all, just need some advice on this. It looks as though one of our cars, mainly for track use, could quite happily run either the Stage 3 organic or the Stage 4 6 puk paddle clutch from Competition Clutches for the power level we will be running at.

As a result, I am unsure about which to go with. I tried a friend's car with the Stage 4 and found it a little odd at first but certainly not really difficult to use, although it could become tiresome when queuing in traffic for shows etc.

So really I just want to figure out why one might use the paddle clutch over the organic if both can take the power safely? Is there any other benefit to it?

But surely if say you had 400bhp and the organic can take 500bhp, it isn't going to slip anyway?

Correct.

So if that's the case I would be just as well going with the stage 3 I guess? I was wondering if there was some other benefit like somehow making shifts quicker due to quicker engagement and release.

It's an Impreza STI so heavy and 4WD drivetrain. Semi slick tyres are the plan. Hoping to run it in hillclimbs initially in the road going production class.

At present it runs around 320bhp but I plan to increase this in the future.
