The biggest problem I had playing automatics is the lack of the 2nd 8ve touchpiece which made things like octave leaps from low register A to upper A a pain as I'd instinctively go to use my index finger for it, but hit the trill key linkages instead.
I had a 2nd 8ve touch fitted in the usual place to my d'amore to make things easier. It duplicates the action of the thumb touch (by releasing both 8ve pads so they can be switched over by LH3), but is really there as a safety net.
Automatic thumbplate systems have both 8ve touches fitted to free up the left thumb for upper Bb and C. Some older fully automatic conservatoire instruments have both 8ve key touches fitted, but it's usually only the thumb key touch that's fitted to full autos.
