For me, time and convenience trump the cost, but cost certainly matters.

Being able to walk out in your backyard and flying wherever you want
would be priceless. And building it would be as much fun as flying it!

Exec's are waaayyyy cool. Every year at OSH, I make it a point to stop by
the tent and drool over the display.

4 different Exec's have been housed in the hangar next to mine over the
years. Two were converted to the Jet Exec configuration. The conventional
Exec's seemed to have a very bad ratio of flying time to maintenance time,
and the Jet Exec's were at least as bad, and both had serious powertrain
failures in the few hours they flew.

I never saw any of them leave the traffic pattern other than on a trailer.

If you want a helicopter, I suggest the Robinsons. I honestly don't believe
you'll get any utility whatsoever out of an Exec of any flavor...
