One thing a lot of these comparisons miss, and I think why our POA discussions are so adamant between low wing, high wing, Mooney, Cirrus, etc., is that flying (at least pleasure/recreational flying for most people) is equal parts pragmatic and romantic, in other words... it's not all a strict math exercise. That's why in the other thread about the top 10 planes to own you saw so many varied answers, from Piper Cubs to PC12s
I would pick the Bonanza because I think it looks better than the 210, and I'm rarely (if ever) going to fill a plane to the gills.. but really given any choice I would pick a Cirrus over either
I think that's why not everyone is driving a minivan, or Prius, or whatever. I drive an FJ Cruiser.. its mileage sucks and the back seat is uncomfortable and the handling is crap.. but guess what, I like it
