What Do You Like Better: Straight Shift or Splitter

I've only seen 1 twin stick truck ever and when I was told to pull it in the shop I had to get one of the old guys. I didn't even bother shifting I kept it in 4th from the curb to the shop door.

I heard they're actually easy to drive(I'll be damned if I, myself, could do it though!). The 1st stick is 3 ranges; low, direct, & high range & the other stick is your 5spd. I think you start off in 1st in low range, then shift into direct & shift through your gear box, shift into high range & then do the 5spd again. Anyone who's actually used a twin stick, please correct me!
