I love the 400! What a badass plane...congratulations! I once beat 3 SR22 G3s across the Atlantic in a Cessna 400. I really kicked their butt. Cruising at FL210 at 210TAS in absolute comfort.

Ive always loved the columbia line... Im a firm believer if the Columbia had a parachute, Cirrus would be just another failed aviation company. The Columbia is a much better built airplane...

I think that used to be true. Each generation of the Cirrus has gotten better, toward the end of the G3 I think it was actually as good or better than most of the other new brands.

Definitely agree Cirrus has come a long way with quality, I don't think Cirrus would have made it to the G2 if Columbia put a chute in their airplanes from jump street.
