I do very much like the IPS but again not the fiddly controls.
The nicest controls I've ever seen were on the 'Octopussy'.
On the jetdrive control you had an individual control for fore and aft transmission and power on each drive but then you could twist the control port and starboard independently to point the jet-nozzles where you wanted.
No computers, just point and squirt. The best was watching her leave a very crowded San Remo Boatshow. The skipper just pointed each jet either side and gently 'blew' the yachts stern-to eitherside of him apart and just moved out.
Very cool.
