If having the engine quit bothers you, just keep an eye on the fuel
pressure gauge when near empty on the tank. Pressure will be solid
until the first bubbles pass thru the line, indicated by a momentary
pressure drop. Running one tank essentially empty is better so all
remaining fuel is in the fullest tank. Sometime your plan might go in
the dumper and leave you in the air with minimum fuel, maybe with a
high workload, stress, etc. It happened to me years ago. Knowing all
usable fuel is in the tank you are flying on could save the day.

I have run one tank dry and switched with just a 3-4 second power
loss.
