twinstar vs. cirrus - your call?

Y'know, it's embarrassing to admit that I didn't look at the
marketplace on this. But of course there are people selling their
earlier slots. Yes, I feel stupid, but that's nnot a new sensation for
me. Hmmm, that opens up another option.

At the moment, I'm focusing on a mid-late model Seneca or Baron -
higher fuel burn, but much faster, and a few hundred $K less.

Excellent - thanks, all! Consensus (mostly sent offlist) is to buy into an
older twin. I ran the spreadsheet numbers and, while I can't plug in the
"damn, it's sexy factor", the data all support an older, non-sexy twin for
speed, cost and safety: I'd need to fly 2k hours to make up the difference
in buy-in.


Is a new 2006 Diamond DA-42 (Diesel) Twin Star (with two partners) an
option?

I was hoping to call them $450,000/3 = $150K each
