Well, if you're doing all that it might be a drop in the bucket, but
I'd say fly it for a while before deciding you need a vernier throttle.
For one thing, it will be very expensive because the low-throttle
gear warning horn is a mechanical monstrosity that is part of the
throttle assembly.


Webco sells them for $209
http://www.webcoaircraft.com/cat-front.html. "Very expensive" is a
relative term, but, trust me, that will not be among the most expensive
maintenance items for a Comanche owner (I am one).

The vernier throttle works with the existing warning horn, although I
ditched that a while back for the voice warning system through the audio
panel, which takes the place of the factory horn you never hear anyway
with headphones on.
