We've been flying a 332 in Halifax for one year now. Taxiing is certainly different from the 61 but our biggest issues would be with taxiing on the ice.

The double nose wheel can be difficult to turn when it's icy so we've found (after some slipping and sliding) that it's safer to engage the autopilot and hover taxi. The high C of G and hefty tail rotor don't help on the ice either.
