You pretty much hit the nail on the head. It's the automation/FMS that gives most guys problems prop to jet. And overcontrolling, especially on v1 cuts. Gotta be more gentle/smooth. And get used to swept wing vs straight. Other than that, in both types, you pull up the houses get smaller, you push down the houses get bigger.
