Having flown A320s with N1 (CFMs) and EPR (V2500s) and 744s with N1 (CF6s) and EPR (RB211s), I reckon I can comment.
I don’t care who makes the donk or how many spools it has but EPR is a waste of time, just ask the Air Florida guys.
With N1, move the thrust levers and you get the N1 you command. In an EPR bird N1/N2 etc will vary to provide the EPR commanded.
A manual thrust approach in a N1 powered aircraft is a smooth easy affair, in an EPR bird it is a bit wishy washy.
Other than that push forward on thrust levers and trees/waves go past fast, pull back and they go past slower.
