Well, I wouldn't say it's harder...it's just different. You'll have to accept a certain learning curve before you will be comfortable with the yoke.
I had a yoke before, and I felt much more in control when performing precision rolls and landing corrections. Too bad my yoke lacked the amount of buttons found on many sticks, so I switched back to a joystick again:)

I've never found  a yoke that I've liked....that isn't $400, anyway. lol  The CH products yoke was cool for a while, but it lacks a certain realism to it, IMO.  I'm much happier with my X-45.

I like the CH yoke with throttle/prop/mixture controls.  But I wouldn't want it without the rudder pedals.  I think this setup is more realistic for most of the airplanes I fly.
