I think you are correct, but when I was looking into it my major reason to not engage towards TTx was the runway needed. Cessna loyal buyers are often keen on short fields and the TTx was bad at that. The G36 suffers from the same issue - fat belly long roll needed. Cirrus simply had the chance to occupy an abandoned 'multi-purpose compromise' the others left open for quite some while. With Textron is became worse for Cessna and the current focus on the SkyCourier niche won't do any better.

Part of being slippery and fast, and having the high-wing loading to cut through turbulence is to give a up little on the slow speed. That being said, I've had no issues operating at KPAO.

If you want to know why Cirrus succeeded, the number one reason, ask the 9,000 people that bought them.
The defining issue is the chute: period. You may not agree with that but 9,000 buyers obviously don't care.
I'm planning on buying a faster, turbo airplane. I'm not considering the TTX for one reason.
Want to guess?
