G36 Bonanza Question

[Aluckyguess]

I was looking at the specs on a new G36 Bonanza it has the usefull load
around 1000 #s. My question is why do the older ones have up to a 500 #s
more load. I am reading it wrong. If this is true why would anyone buy one.
I love my A36 but a new Cirrus has a better payload. Why would they have 6
seats?

Very common to newer airplanes. Look at new cessna 206's. Utterly
pathetic. Older 182 have very nearly the same useful load. My Bonanza,
a 64 S35, has a useful of 1310.
