That, and cleaner, slicker airframes will allow them to fly more miles to

If you're friendly with your passenger, even go for the Europa. IIRC,
the 912-engined Europa can do 40 nm/gal at 120 ktas. I have a friend
with a turboed (914S) Europa, and that one still gets great economy on
auto gas at 135 ktas. It also climbs out at almost 2000 fpm if you push
the throttle past the detent into the 'limited for 5 minutes' power
setting.
The cabin is NOT big, though. Fits me fine but then again at my last
medical I was 152 lbs.
