i think,the issue s/s or yoke is maybe a pschyological thing.
the yoke is something you can hold on,you can grab it with BOTH hands when in turbolence,it gives confidence b/c you are acting with your whole upper body.
you have a better feeling or the a/c b/c the motion of the yoke,the a/c and your upper body is in line.
ask yourself,who wants to drive his car with a s/s ?
