What I'd really like to find is some sort of direct comparison tool--like
you find in an auto magazine, say--such as a table with columns listing
features, with added commentary on each model's pros and cons. From reading
this group, I've found a couple of browsing tools, but nothing that really
hits the mark. Suggestions?

I know of nothing out there. What I did when I was shopping for my first
aircraft was to buy a copy of Bill Clarke's "The Illustrated Buyer's Guide to
Used Airplanes" and make lists of possible candidates. You should be able to
throw together a table or spreadsheet of possibilities. There won't be too many
singles that fit all of your conditions.
