I don't have any experience with carbon twins. The only multi-plate clutches I have experience with are the non-carbon Exedy twin discs... which take finesse to drive. Once you get used to it, it's fine to drive. Has a very well-pronounced engagement point, moreso than my ACT does (which engages with the quickness).

I apologize If I am a slow learner, but you are saying that integrated clutch and flywheels will all be trickier to drive than a stock setup that does not have an inegrated flywheel. BUT, in the realm of "integrated" clutch and flywheels, the dual setups will be less grabby and easier to drive and engage from a stop than single setups (Albeit w/ more noise)?.
