I disagree with you. After 23 years of owning a C172 & 18 months of owning a
Cirrus, there is no comparison ther than both fly.
The higher wing loading of the Cirrus makes it slide through turbulence that
used to be uncomfortable in the Cessna.
Twitchy? you have to explain in more depth what you mean. Pain in the neck to
use the electric trim? Yes, but really is just a matter of getting used to the
sensitivity of the switch. Most, if not all Cirrus owners ( except ArtP) get
used to it. The fallback is to use the auto pilot which will trim the plane.
Once disconnected, the plane stays pretty much in trim, though I admit I prefer
the trim wheel of the Skyhawk.
