Cirrus Killer? Cessna just doesn't get it...

Quite a few people I know are moving from 4 place to 2 place airplanes.

The problem I see with that, is that so many 4 place airplanes are really
only 2 place with full fuel and luggage. If the 2 place is really a 2 place
with decent range and load carrying, there are great reasons to change.

True, but you have the flexibility for short trips of taking 4 people
with partial fuel, especially if it is a day trip and you have no
baggage. A two seater doesn't give you that option.

This is much like the argument for SUVS. You don't need all of the
capability all of the time, but one vehicle gives you a lot of
flexibility whereas a more specialized vehicle such as a pickup, does not.
