I've had a 182 and now a Bonanza and they are well suited to mountain VFR

Even a NA Bonanza still has reserves of power -- I'm not sure a Comanche 250
does.

Depends how heavy you are. With 4 people and at max gross, the Comanche
struggles (in my direct experience) and has a very slow climb rate above
10,000 feet in the warmer part of the year, but I bet if flown solo (or
well below gross) it's adequate.
