Matt,

some thoughts that come to mind (and be aware what you paid for this
information ;-)):

- seems that the track record of Cirrus as a company points towards a
more stable situation. While the recent cash inflow to Lancair may have
corrected this, undoubtably the Cirrus airplane and the company are way
more proven in the market place. The SR22 is out there flying in
numbers, the Lancair isn't. How much of a consideration that is, I'm
not sure, but I wouldn't want to end up with an orphaned 350k-$
product.

- I have only flown the Cirrus, but it seems to me that visibility in
the Cirrus is much better than in the Lancair.

- How much is the parachute playing into the WAF (wife acceptance
factor) equation for you?

- icing protection: Any chance it will be available in a certified
variant for the Lancair? It isn't for the Cirrus, AFAIK.
