Moving autothrottles also move when the engine is shut down.. or at least they did on the 737 and 757. So, if one is expecting VALID tactile feedback, they may be surprised.
Not that one way is better but they are different. What I found was with the non-moving throttles, I spent more time actually looking at eng instruments.
