Since I live in the mid-Atlantic area the distance
issue is not a deciding factor for me nor is the threat of weather since
I have a IFR ticket. ( discounting Tstorms and such )

We have never been stopped by weather going into SnF that an IFR ticket
would have helped. At least not in anything less than a King Air.

Can you say "ice" and "tops to 47,000 feet"???
