I received this from a friend who knows a Diamond Star owner in MA: "If you can afford the planes you can probably afford the insurance but AVEMCO wanted $8300 per year for the SR20 and only about $4500 for the DA40. It seems that low-time pilots have made a mess of many a Cirrus. (I got my best...
