When I started my search for a plane I/we wanted a low wing, and it had to have 2 doors. I'm claustrophobic and having to climb into a cockpit with no door next to me just wasn't going to work for me. TB-20 was on my short list, along with DA-40 and SR-22. I didn't know much about the 114's and the time or I would have given them a look also. After flying a DA40, I found it to be to tight and not enough useful load, SR-22, I was limited to early models budget wise, chute re-packs and high time engines scared me off. I found a nice TB-20, low engine hrs, and decent avionics well within my budget.
My experience has been opposite of a lot of the negative comments you see. Very strong owners group at socata.com, parts have been pretty easy to come by, and not outrageously expensive for the most part. Actually, from what I've read, product support is as good or better than most companies.
The TB20/21's have 50" wide cabin, both front and rear seats, good useful loads, usually over 1150#, long range (86 gal usable), cruising at 65% power I'll be around 12.5 gal/hr right at 150kts (depending on alt). They are dirt simple to operate, now cowl flaps, only two fuel tanks, ergonomic control layout, and you should be able to find a good example well within your budget. They can be an excellent IFR platform, although none are FIKI, even the 21's. They may have de-icing capability, but they do not have a backup TKS pump, in EU they are cert for icing, but FAA will not, at least that's my understanding.
