I must admit I much prefer a yoke, but then my time on yoke v. stick is at least 100:1.

However it depends to some extent whether the yoke goes between your legs or is a side-stick. The former is IMHO a stupid idea for touring because it just gets in the way - long skirt or not The latter will naturally be a lot shorter (in lever length terms) which I don't like but I suppose one gets used to it.

I bet yoke touring planes (Cirruses etc) get flown mostly on the autopilot.
