Mmmm.........

Don’t wish to nitpick but the exhaust from jet engines has swirl which can lead to slightly different yawing moments between engines if the engine is fairly close to the fuselage as in some twin installations. Whether this small effect is noticable to the pilot will be type dependant.

As to the extra matter of stall speeds raised by Pablo K I must really beg to differ there. While there is no prop-wash to add to the V over the wings there can be a very significant vertical component of jet thrust reducing the effective weight of the aircraft. At high angles of attack and high engine RPM this component of thrust can be considerable - as you will see if you do the trig.
