"Generally agree, however, some machines can be a "handful", esp on one engine, that may require a few seconds of "two hands". Better then, IMO, to hit TOGA, feel the throttles advancing than push 'em up and hope TOGA engages while temporarily hands off."

A need for two hands typically goes along with inadequate rudder use or not having a steady rudder input. It's a standard debriefing item - "'if you push enough rudder, and freeze it, the aileron inputs will stop."
