I'll 2nd this. Pressurization changes everything. I have opined here and on COPA, that the Piper M series (turbine or piston) are probably the best for most if you can find hangar for one.
Chuck may be able to shed more light, but based on what I see on COPA, one could argue that an M series is no more or only slightly more to operate on a per mile basis than an SR22.
Agreed. The M shows what could be if the other manufacturers were serious about producing a travel class piston airplane. The leap in capability from a SR22 is astonishing, and the running costs are similar. The SR22 or Bonanza are a bit of a toy in comparison.
