Cirrus SR22 Purchase advice needed.

I have been reading this group for years, and when CJ Campbell speaks, I
listen..

I had researched the financials, even have enough people interested in
partnering, I already have a hanger and have 200+ Bonanza hours. The simple
fact of 4030 hours life on the airframe is a deal breaker. I'm not much
worried about the 5+ accidents in the last 12 months. I've read many of the
NTSB reports and it seems to me pilots ARE getting into situations they
should have not been in (although the one where they guy's aliron was
falling off made me read again). Having the BRS would make one feel a bit
more at ease taking risks, but I am not a risk taker, nor would I want to
find myself in a position to deploy the chute..

I also took a serious look at the Lancair 350, but after learning of it's
price got my out of the seat..

Dennis;
If you have that many hours in a Bonanza, you'll never be satisfied
with anything else.

Well, the Cirrus has the chance to do that, from my perspective.

Ever a Bonanza owner?

No, keeps me neutral g.

I have about 100 hours in Bo's. And a half hour in an SR20. All it took
to convince me. The SR20 flies better - to me.

I wouldn't worry about that. It's bound to change. Talk to Cirrus about
it.

I'm still going to take a look at the Rochester fly-in, bit the salesman
might throw me out after I hit him with all these questions..

I thought about getting a Bonanza, but without partners, I couldn't afford
it.. My old boss had a 33 and then a 35, I use to be able to fly it at will
(work and pleasure).

Dennis,

Why not a Bo'? You said in another post you had 200+ hours in that.
