I agree, what about using V/S
if you dont like it, adjust it or TCS it until you find a V/S you like. The only time I use Speed mode is a climb out, if its smooth, or I hit it when spoilers open and speed is 245 in a decent, it will give you the best rate!! (FYI-- do this and as soon as the ASEL becomes boxed close the spoilers quickly and give the thrust levers a quick bump about half way up then back to idle, the airplane levels itself super smoothly
