Unless someone has actually flown a TKS equipped plane in icing
conditions
they simply are not capable of making a rational comparison.

I agree completely... TKS is one of the most under-appreciated mods to an
airplane.

In part I think this is because people want to rationalize flying their
airplanes in the winter and it is tough to acknowledge, for example, that a
1980s steam gauge Mooney with TKS is a much more capable IFR airplane than
a brand new $350K Cirrus.. but it's the truth.
