I agree that it may be far better to become a glider than struggle with an assymetric aircraft which is barely performing.

That said, more recent twins such as the DA42 are absolute puppies with one engine out. You have to be really behind the drag curve, physically and metaphorically, to crash one of these from an engine failure (it has been done!)
