I have just finsihed my Instrument rating and it is about time to move up to
soemthing faster that hauls more than my wonderful Piper Cherokee 140. An
interetsing possibility is a Piper Lance or Turbo Lance. I am open to
comments and hope to get some!

Both are not bad airplanes (although I've never been a big T-tail fan).
I was spending a fair amount of time in a turbo lance when 'Buckaroo
Banzai" was released and felt that the lines:

"...it flies like a truck.'
"Good. What is truck?"

Were somehow applicable to the lance.

Much of it comes down to your mission. It wouldn't be my choice if I
were going to be flying frequent solo trips or trips with a single pax.
