Also, is there a rule of thumb to compare the new 135hp Diesel to 160hp or
180hp AvGas engines? On the face of it, it looks like 25-45 fewer hp with

The difference is I think the propeller that comes with the Thielert -
it's constant speed, so all things remaining equal you get more takeoff
thrust per horsepower.
