Pace, you are dead right there. Whilst my autopilot experiences are humbler than yours, I think one ought to be able to log double time with some autopilots, as you have to keep an eye on the autopilot and its limitations as well as everything else. A KAP140 is the devils own work, and I have had one put me in a spiral as well as set off 180 deg off course in nav mode, to say nothing of having to pay attention to the limitations, not setting too high a vertical speed at altitude for fear of stalling etc.
