Default New 182T, where's the useful load??

I just finished checking out in a new 182T as part of getting my FITS
G1000 CFI training. I am now ready to provide G1000 instruction!
I couldn't help noticing that the useful load on the new 182 is almost
the same as the useful load on my Mooney! If you also take into account
that I can go 150nm on 60 lbs of gas in the Mooney vs. 130nm on 76 lbs
of gas in the C182, the useful load of the 182 looks really, really
poor. What happened to the idea that you could load a 182 to the
ceiling and go fly? Isn't that why people buy 182s? What's the
motiviation to buy a C182 now??
I got the G1000 CFI training so I can teach in the new Mooneys but I
could only find the 182 that I could rent.

-Robert, CFI
