The Robby throttle has too much friction to fly it that way. In fact governor off training is always kind of bitch for that very reason,...it makes the throttle feel sticky and small adjustments are hard to make.

The S300, on the other hand, has a very lose throttle and can be manipulated very easily with just a couple fingers. However, the instructors I flew it with never instructed me to lead with the throttle.

The only helicopter I've ever flown where I was instructed to lead with the throtle was an Enstrom,...and that's actually a high inertia machine.
