B,

We're (two of us) looking at the 150+ knot range, 4-5 seats, IFR &
autopilot, ~$100-125k.


That's easy: Socata TB-20 Trinidad. See www.socata.org both for a great
user community and some offers.

You won't find anything as spacious and modern (recent design, not too
old airframe) anywhere else in that price range. With a bench seat in
the back, it will seat five, although the usual weight limitations
apply. We're talking about a design from the late 70s, early 80s, and
an aircraft from the late 80s, early 90s. And it shows.

If you don't care about age, a Bo comes to mind. A Rockwell 114 might
be an option, too.
