To pick nits (this is USENET!) the difference is quite a bit more than 8
minutes (unless you fly the entire flight in ground effect). The
Comanche 250 climbs quite a bit quicker, and will also have a higher
speed cruise descent. The climb speed is probably a bit higher in the
Comanche too, so you'll be climbing at a higher rate and a faster
airspeed.

Well, I just dialed the two planes into Destination Direct, and came up with
the 8 minute difference between the aircraft. Supposedly the program is set
up to take climb and descent into account, but I haven't checked the numbers
with a whiz wheel.
