At the moment I will take the predictable 3G any time.
The chap in this thread would certainly agree!

On a different note: I once read (cannot find the reference any more) that about 70-80% of engine failures - or least the EFATO variety - occur at the first change in power setting after t/o. This comes from some FAA statistic and it certainly impressed me enough to avoid changes to the power setting until at about 1000' (when and where possible). Can someone confirm?
