I've read about new Cirrus SR22 owners paying $8000 for their first
year's insurance. That seems incredible to me that a cabin-class
pressurized turbo'd twin like a 421 could cost less to insure than a
fixed-gear single.

It doesn't seem incredible to me, in the least bit, after reading about the
rash of crunched up Cirri.
