Really. They both have T-tails. The Commander 112 has a
cruixiform tail.

Looking at the Wiki photo, I think that is a Tomahawk.
I always looked at the tail to determine which airplane was which.
The Piper tail is definitely a T because it sits atop the vertical
stabilizer.
I always remembered the Beech tail as mounted below the top of the
horizontal stabilizer, hence I referred to it as a cruciform. Not as low
as the Commanders (mid-vertical stabilizer), but not atop the vertical.
