My point was that for the kind of money you are talking about I could
by cruising at 165kts at the same or less fuel burn, and still have

Yes, in a considerably older airplane with older avionics, higher maintenance
costs, etc. If it was a retractable, insurance would be more, too.

Nevertheless, speed is good. I like Bo's, and very nice ones can be had for
$300K.
