Me, I like the pretzel yokes because I can hold on to the yoke at the top near-center-balance-point with just one hand. When I hit an up or down draft, the change in g-force doesn't turn the yoke.
With the ram's horn type yoke, when you get those surprise g-load changes, there's a tendency to accidentally input some roll. But, then, my Coupe did not have important instruments hidden by the top of the pretzel yoke. If you have fancy IFR type instruments, I can see the craving for ram's horn yokes. I couldn't see in the picture - I presume those pretzel yokes shown are actually true Cessna pretzel yokes from the '40s era Cessnas? Ed
