I have flown an Evektor that had a vernier throttle. You did not have to push a button. You could use it like a regular throttle cable, (push-pull for large variations) or turn it like a vernier for precise control. Frankly though, that precise control seemed like a waste of time in a single engine, two person plane.

Just having to position your hand to push the damn center button in takes too long in a real emergency. Creep is prevented with the friction lock. In my 6,000 hours and 42 of flying airplanes, I've never seen the advantage of a vernier in a fixed pitch airplane. But, each to his own opinion.

If you want full power in high or low performance aircraft just push the damn thing in. A verner will usually hold power setting more accurately without creeping. , Etc.
