The guy I'm going to likely partner with is really thinking hard on the Piper Lance. He wants a true four human plus bags/clubs traveller, with decent turn of speed. While this is more plane than I would buy myself, I do see some advantages in owning half a Lance.
The larger size would greatly comfort my wife, and the ability to bring family/friends along on trips does sound good to me. Also knowing that with my family, 3 plus bags, we'd always have plenty of airplane to spare.
He is also trying to bring his timetable up to be ready to go seriously looking after the 1st of the year, which matches when I'll be ready to buy.
I'm still on the fence on going solo vs. partner, but there could be worse things in life than being in a partnership with a Lance.
So, will the Lance do 6A9 (ie, obstructed 2000ft grass field) with three and bags, and enough fuel to get somewhere else to tank up?
Dr Bruce? Ken? Others with PA-32 experience?
