I recently talked with an owner of a 421 that had relatively low multi

I've read about new Cirrus SR22 owners paying $8000 for their first
year's insurance. That seems incredible to me that a cabin-class
pressurized turbo'd twin like a 421 could cost less to insure than a
fixed-gear single.

Hull values are similar and the liability issues probable are too.
