Being one of limited experience, I never took Avbug's original post to be one of "never declare an emergency". What that post said to me was do what you feel is most comfortable and mirrored in part the way that I've been taught. (Fly the airplane first, troubleshoot and/or fix the problem, with talking given the lowest priority).
My understanding of Avbug's original post is one of declare an emergency if it will help you, so in your above example of the light twin, then that would indeed be a very attractive option.
The reason for my first post was to lend some support to Avbug. It should be obvious to anyone who has taken the time to read more than a few of his posts, that this guy isn't macho, a cowboy, or unprofessional but does indeed have a wealth of information to share in many areas of GA. I appreciate him taking the time to share that knowledge.
