Two IFR 206 Longrangers in Sweden are also SAS equiped with 2-axis-oldfashion-but-good-autopilots.
If you have relatively flat terrain (I mean, no mountains) below you, and reasonable amount of space between the terrain and cloud base (let's say 500-1000') it's not the problem to stay in clouds with SE.
But, probably it's not acceptable for CAT.
