Guess that makes me feel better. I just get a little gunshy when flying it
close to gross since the climb performance *really* goes to crap in the PA-28 when
approaching gross.

The other thing is a resale issue. Since ours was a -140 that's been upgraded
to -180, its legal max gross weight wasn't (appreciably) increased. It's legal only
to 2200 gross TO (2150 landing)... if it were a real -180 it'd be legal to 2400.
