I called Travers
(the Comanche specialists) and was told $3800 the first year (on an
$80K hull), 20 hours dual and multi/IFR to solo it, 10 hours solo
before carrying passengers.

When my Aztec returned to flight (~1998), I had similar insurance
requirements (15 hours dual, 15 hours solo, I think). Total time was
not an issue (which is good because I had a fresh Private). My
insurance agent said awhile ago that such deals are no longer
available but that the market is cyclical. So...

In light of the above, is that something that has changed over time?

This probably does change regularly, at least for a low-time pilot
who is just getting into a twin. I point this out not necessarily to
help those who are investigating now (unless you're really patient)
but to caution those who might find this thread later.
