As I was told when I did my multi-engined fixed wing training aeons ago. Autopilots are not for flying the aeroplane.....
Punching George's Buttons are not as much fun as punching the Coey's Buttons I reckon....but if you got them...use them!

Even the now ancient Sperry Helipilot system would fly an ILS down to 60 Knots and 50 feet AGL holding Localizer and Glide Slope pegged in the middle of the donut....why not just pat George on the back and say "Thank you very much old friend!"?
