Single Throttle question for Twin TP drivers

Dear fellow PPruners,

Just brainstorming as usual.....

I was thinking: what if the engine Control System was smart enough so that you would not need THREE different throttles for RPM/Torque and Fuel but only ONE ? Would you consider this as a very strong advantage ?

And even more crazy......:
What if, for a TWIN turbo-prop aircraft (a la King Air for example), you would have ONLY ONE throttle for BOTH engines ?

When would that be an advantage and when would that be a disadvantage ?
For pilots in the whole spectrum of experience and in all conditions (Weather, Single Pilot Operations, etc...)

Thanks for your inputs !

Leo.
