I've only once flown a helicopter whose throttle was not a twist grip on the collective. That was the AS355. But I have wondered, if things got bad fast, and you wanted to remove power, without dumping the collective right away, you'd have to take hands off controls to find the condition lever(s) then shut engines down? If it happened there, I would not want to be taking my hands of the flight controls.
