I have the impression that DSG7 even for the new Cupra is same hardware as other DSG7's from VAG. Like in my old Leon MkIII FR, which compared to my later Cupra DSG6 'box was rubbish. Hardware in DSG6 is superior. You made the right choice, IMNSHO.
Cupra ST Mk3 2018 DSG6 vs Cupra ST Mk3 2019 DSG7... help needed please!

@RacerBice it depends on which 7 Speed DSG Box you are comparing it against.
The DQ200 as fitted to the lower power cars had a very bad start in life but they (VAG) think they have it sorted now - never heard that before.
I think its the DQ381 That is now fitted to the Cupra so a different box altogether.
Personally I have had feedback from Golf R Types who say they preferred the DQ250 (Which is what i have and very happy with) but as with cars its all about personal preferences (as others have said they love the 7 speed very much).
UPDATE to put all the info in one place

Based on the info available at seat.com about DQ381and info found in an older Leon brochure about DQ250 ratios, I put together the following table:
It shows that gears I-III are very close (with DQ381 being just a little bit shorter) and gears IV-VI are identical. I was quite surprised by that, I was expecting DQ381 to be shorter for gears I-VI, with VII being a little above VI from DQ250...
The speed for 7th gear 1000rpm is 55.9/1.609=34.7 mph, which is in line with the value given two posts above.
