I've got a friend with a '58 Comanche 250... a good example of a
perfect balance for an aircraft. It's a step up (or two) in roominess
from the Cherokee, but will fly fine with four people and some luggage.
It hits the wall at about 155-160 kts, so more power will just burn more
fuel.

Don't know much about the Lance, except that it's a slightly
different mission. Depends on how much you want to haul and how fast, but
the Comanche is a quite comfortable, pretty quick, and a relatively good
load hauler. Won't quite get the mileage as a Mooney, but people are
happier to work on it.

FWIW
