Twin star vs Seminole

I will have soon to choose the aircraft to complete my ME IR training, between the Diamond DA42 Twin Star and the Piper Seminole.
Particularly those who flew with both of them, can you give some advises about:
-the handling caracteristic of the two, especially during one-engine out operations.
-how much does the EFIS cockpit helps during IMC flights (ie the situational awarness improvement compared with the conventional cockpit of the Seminole)
-having no previous experience on airplanes with control stick, how long does it take to get confident with this kind of control

Thank you guys
