As someone who has flown with all the different FD styles, the FPV on the 170 took a tiny bit of getting used to but it’s just dead-nuts simple to use.
The plane also flies like an airplane. Click, click, do pilot stuff. Or, it flies like a computer if you want it to. Whatever you want. It’s happy.

Now the E145 is garbage. Flies like crap.

the E145 flies quite nicely in the hands of a skilled pilot, but in the hands of a fledgling pilot with minimal experience I can see where you’d have difficulty controlling it as smoothly as a Cessna 172.
Once you get some total experience, and build your skills to a level near everyone who enjoys the E145 you’ll come to appreciate it.
