Hand flying to minima?

When I was much younger, flying light twins and commuter turboprops, I would happily fly a raw data ILS to 200', no problem.

Later on, flying big jets, raw data to 200' seemed just too difficult. So I'm asking if it's harder to fly a big jet raw data to minima than it is a light twin, or am I just lazy and out of practice? And if the former, why is the minima the same?

In my defence, I never saw anyone fly a raw data ILS down to 200' in a big jet and in the sim, we always set cloudbase above 400' to avoid embarrassment.
