terrova foot steering

Hey Everyone,
I'm considering buying a terrova with the i-pilot, co-pilot, and foot steering accessory. I want the foot steering accesssory because sometimes i fish for bass and I don't think using the remote would be very productive....seems like the remote is only productive for trollin. i currently have an old cable foot pedal minn kota. How does the operating the terrova with the foot pedal compare to operating a cable style foot control motor? better? worse? about the same? what about noise?....is the terrova noisy if you have to turn it a lot?
