Yes, I have recommended adding a throttle delay (it's easy on most modern radios) to get used to the idea of turbine lag.

Newer engines are better and in general smaller engines are faster in spool up and down than larger ones because they have less inertia but there's still a noticeable delay in throttle stick movement to power output. EDF guys are used to instant power and that's just now how it is with a turbine.
