What I would really like to see is which aircraft has
the best purchase-price-to-speed ratio. Someone has to have created
such a list somewhere?!

A few minutes after such a list is published in any widely-read forum, it will
be out of date. The prices on the "best" aircraft will jump about 30% shortly
thereafter.

At least, this is what happens every time a magazine like "Flying" publishes
their "Ten Best Deals" list. Stinsons recently got a boost from an AOPA article.
Good luck finding one at anything near the price AOPA quoted.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."
