Can you elaborate on why you feel the full precure is easier than
vectors?

Some other points: My S-tec flies a coupled GPSS WAAS approach quite a bit
smoother than a coupled ILS approach. Not sure why. Probably for the same
reason GPSS (GPS steering) is a lot smoother than HSI deviation autopilot
navigation. So I'd rather shoot the GPS. In addition, by shooting the GPS I
can use the ILS localizer and glideslope (if available on the same runway)
as a totally independent backup source of vertical and lateral guidance. So
I am shooting the GPS and monitoring using a second CDI getting the
localizer/glideslope data. (For technical reasons, I cannot do the
reverse--shoot the ILS and use my old CDI linked to the GPS as a backup.)

when you request the full procedure? I get the feeling that they would
rather vector me on the ILS than have me shoot a GPS full approach.

I like the GPS full approach but I don't want to be irritating
controllers
and mucking up things by doing so.
