I got to fly a Cessna 400. I met another gentleman there that will be flying it this coming week. I emailed him the BeechTalk website and told him about the good information here. He is in the same position I am. We both are leaning towards Bo's, but trying to complete a little due diligence also. He asked my opinion on the Bo, (there was an older one sitting right next to the 400 in the hanger). I told him I believe that performance is close, with the 400 a little faster, but the Bo had a better "known" factor 5 years from now, both in durability and resale. New, you can buy a Bo for less with the huge discounts we are hearing about, but you would quickly eat that up in AC option, oxygen and TN. The 400 carries 102 gal, and has a full fuel PAYLOAD of around 520 lbs, but AC and Oxygen are standard. I said with the tip tanks and TN gross increase, you will have a better payload with the Bo. Here is my pi-rep on the 400. If anyone has any analogous information between the two, I would appreciate it. http://www.purpleboard.net/~purplebo/fo ... php?t=3940
