In new aircraft, the right comparison for an Arrow would be the
Diamond
DA-40 rather than the Cirrus (or Lancair).


There is NO comparison for the Arrow in new aircraft because the Arrow
came into being solely to satisfy regulatory requirements -
specifically the requirement to take the commercial and CFI in a
complex airplane. The DA-40 is not an adequate substitute.

The reasonable comparison for the DA-40 is the Cheetah or Tiger.
