Owned a 76 NA straight tail Lance for several years. Really liked it. Found it a little lacking trying to go over the Rockies. Currently have a 79 turbo T tail. Does everything I will every want to do. Home field is at 6700 ft. So the turbo really adds to the ability to get off the ground. The T tail is a little different than the straight tail in takeoff and landing, but just learn about it and use the trick we all do, 50-100 lbs ballast in the rear cargo area if loaded with just one or two folks up front. I really like the room up front and overall room in back for whatever you want to put there.

I compare them as the Arrow flies like a dirt bike, the Lance like a Harley. Reminds me of a friend of ours I rode with one time in his Mooney, when I was young. I believe it was an M-20B (it had the manual gear, and I think it was a 1967?). He said the comparison between the Mooney and our Bonanza was like a Camaro to a Cadillac. Nice plane, just NOT a Bo
