I bought a 2000 2.0 selespeed 11 or 12 months ago, and to be honest I love it. Havent had trouble with the selespeed at all, apart from sometimes in the city, if you are letting it "coast" a bit on auto, i.e. decelerating without braking, it seems to sometimes hang between gears, unsure as to whether it should be changing down or staying where it is. Out on the main roads I turn off the auto.
As regards the gear change being slow, i wouldnt think so. Like you said, its .4 of a second or something when the car is being pushed, which is as quick as most people could change a gear if not quicker. I must say though, despite the name the alfas have for unreliability, this car hasnt given me any trouble at all, when i move this car i think i'll definitely get another one. lovely "kick" out of it too.
