Thrust levers - moving or not?

Thought I might start a new thread just to explore the subject of moving and non moving thrust levers, as touched on by some other threads.

It would be interesting to know which of us like and dislike each system, and for those who dislike non moving levers, did you fly with moving ones before?

For those now flying Airbus but who have used moving levers before; what do you miss? Is it the feedback of the autothrust in your hand or is it the ease with which adjustments can be made if the autothrust gets it wrong?

I personally never flew an autothrust aircraft until I qualified on Airbus FBW, so I don't have any moving thrust lever experience.*



*apart from BAe146, but that doesn't really count !
