i've flown a 27 and i don't prefer it over a 20. a 20 with winglets feels just as nice as to me.


Been on both sides of that equation! We have good days and bad days and that performance difference can be much more than the number after the W.
Good winglets do make slow flight a lot nicer.
Similar colored handles were mentioned. Discovered a while ago that in Australia the factory black spoiler handle, or in this case the cool wooden handles wouldn't pass a "Form 2" (Annual).
....Unless you can distract the inspector with the flying frog.
