Flying single pilot in hard IMC without an autopilot is hard flying. Not relying so much on your technology to get you there, not so much.

Huh...I must be doing something wrong then. I can't seem to find the "fly itself" button on a 402.
I've done lots and lots of single pilot in the hardest IFR you've ever seen in the northeast, as well as plenty of 121 jet flying into the interior of Mexico. After doing both, let me tell you: Flying jets down in Mexico is very very close to the same level of challenge, particularly when you're down there at night dodging thunderstorms in the middle of the summer.
