I fly the B430 ( 222 s) big brother the collective is nice both throttles are twist grip and for throttling up from ground to flight is smooth with both engines torque matched all the way up ( if you do it right) . it looks cumbersome to start with but when you get used to it it is simple and logical the way it is laid out.
let me have your mail address and i will forward to you the cockpit layout.
Sincerely
