What are the general opinions the 8G DCT gearbox fitted to the W177 A class??

any reason to think that it wouldn’t be good for long service.

An old B-Class.
What I've read is that sitting in slow moving / stop-start traffic speeds up wear on the clutch much like constantly slipping a manual clutch. So if you are going to be commuting to work with the car, that may be worth looking into.
