Check out risingup.com. It has a performance database of nearly all
production GA planes. You can search for aircraft types based upon
performance parameters.

Then use aso.com or controller.com to get an idea of the aircraft
price range.

The 1000nm range is going to eliminate a lot of aircraft. Also, that
is a really long time to stay aloft if you are flying at 160kts.

As you get into your search, remember that the purchase price only
scratches the surface on aircraft expenses. Insurance + hangar fees +
maintenance + fuel & oil costs can be quite large, particularly on a
larger engined twin. I would budget at least $20k / year to fly a
Baron or similar twin (not including acquisition or loan costs).

Now this is the kind of information I'm looking for! It took me a few years to find this site but this is really helpful stuff and should help me refine the differences between nice to haves and needs. I'll check out the sites further.

Thanks a lot, Nathan. Should help me get through some of the chaff out there--data but not information I can use. Appreciate the help.
