Eclipse sez $29K to insure a Baron? Yikes. That makes a 10 year old
B58 look a lot more attractive to a buyer huh? But if you MUST have
glass...

IIRC, light twins have the highest accident rates...by far.

Not so, in terms of the percentage of the fleet, however, the percentage
of fatal accidents is about 10% higher than singles (NTSB 2001).

Using an Eclipse site for cost comparisons is pretty funny. I'd like to
see some unbiased data.

Did you check their data sources?

(This is my only response, Matt, as I'm not into your typical lame
filibustering).

No, as I can't afford any of the airplanes on their list. However, I
know from past experience that you have to take manufacturer's
comparisons with a large grain of salt.
