I am surprised that anyone imagines an auto in a twin is any diffrent to an auto in a single, or indeed a triple. The number of engines is irrelevant.
What is important is the characteristics of the type. Some singles auto like bricks - Wasp, H500, Robbo while others float like thistledown - B206L.

Inertia makes autos easy, not the number of engines.

And the thistledownest of them all - that I have flown, anyway, is the mighty Chinook which is embarassing in the amount of run-on it needs as it flares, flare, flares and floats forever - if the Sim is to be believed. Perhaps too much inertia is as bad as too little?
