The hardest thing I noticed from my students, is they relied too much on the automation, and could not fly a visual pattern. It is a great airplane, that you can do anything with as long as you know it's limits and respect them. ALWAYS leave yourself an out.
I agree, I hand fly as much as I can, the automation is great but remember it can be MELed
