I tune in here often and am always informed and entertained by the evangelical Bonanza boosters.........but after looking at the Bonanza , which I love with you, I decided the mission of cross Canada fast and in comfort--for 2, fit the 400. Yes I know its plastic and will depreciate to nothing while Bonanzas are still flying and commanding premium prices but I decided that in addition to mission , the 08 400 saves a bunch of initial capital over a similarly equipped Bo and since I'll never fill the seats...there it is. Hope you'll let me continue to hang out on here for useful info and tips.

Tim,
Show us some pics. I like the C400/ Columbia and would buy that over any Cirrus.
