It is too agile to give you any rest.
I don't quite get that to be honest I used to ferry them for mx and without the student annoying her she would sit happy as larry trimmed out with just an occasional squeeze of the rudder pedals to keep her pointing in the right direction.

I will admit I had over 10's of flights altered the trimming tabs so they were spot on for cruise. It just takes a bit of effort by a pilot and they just as good as anything else for flying in a striaght line.
