I'm not really disagreeing with you, I am merely saying that the costs of
operating a "light twin" range widely from plane to plane and also from year
to year. If the "light twin" is a turbocharged, KI airplane with extensive
instrumentation it will probably cost at least twice as much to fly as a
simple twin.

Certainly one can't argue that point. However, the same is true of a
single. If you're going to consider a light twin that is a
turbocharged, KI airplane with extensive instrumentation, you need to
compare it to a similarly equipped single. They do exist - lately
I've seen a Bonanza with a RADAR pod, 300+ hp turbocharged engine, TKS
known ice, and a panel that makes one drool. How much do you want to
bet his operating costs are nearly double what mine are?
