prices. I was in the market for about an '85 model Bo or 210 a while
back, but now I'd seriously think about spending a little more and
getting a Cirrus.

A little more? How about double!

Let's see: Cirrus SR22's going about $350K; a 1988 F33A going about $189K.

One an "untested" rookie, the other a hardened veteran.

Thanks, no, I'll stick with the "tried and tested".

Add some updated avionic and some engine work (GAMI, Millennium Cyls/TA
Turbos) and I can get a machine that'll be flying long after I'm worm food.
