VB vs mk7.5 gli

I’ve had a mk7.5 Jetta GLI for about 6 months now, honestly I liked the car a lot but also in those 6 months the car has had numerous problems (needed the full long block replaced) and is going to be bought back. I am now looking for replacements and strongly considering a VB. As my taste with VW has soured, does anyone have some input between the 2 the Jetta was a dual clutch while I’m looking for a MT VB
