I have never found electronic "bug modes" to be satisfactory for me. With a mechanical bug, there is positive feedback to the keying that is important to me - that is entirely missing from an electronic keyer set to bug mode. It may be my shortcoming, but I just cannot get the hang of it.
I built my first electronic keyer in 1956 ... ~10 dual triodes, weighed about a brick. Self-completing elements but that was it. Reworked my Lionel J-36 to bring out both left and right, and lost my "bug fist" almost overnight. Never got it back and I've never gotten to the iambic thing either.
