I don't know about the Twin Star, but from the perspective of the insurance
industry, loss history of the Cirrus line is not good. The big problem is
that you can't get airframe parts for a Cirrus. All available parts are
being put into new aircraft, so if you ding your Cirrus, it may be down for
6 months to a year. If you're lucky, you insurance company will just total
the aircraft and write you a check.

Hi all,

I hesitate to ask this question, since on rec.aviation this kind of
thing always turns into a religious war, but here goes: a bunch of us
are getting ready to go in on a new plane together. I travel with my
family, and have already lost one engine over the woods, so the
candidates are the Twinstar and SR-22.

Here's what I'd like to find out: IF YOU ARE BUYING ONE OR THE OTHER
(or have recently, or decided to buy something else instead), why did
you make the choice you made?

I apologize for sounding exclusive, but everyone's got opinions, and
I'd like to concentrate on opinions of folks who have invested their
$$$ and lives into the it.

Many thanks in advance,
