There will be no compromise, when it is my but in the seat, thank you.

EVERYTHING is a compromise. Single engine simplicity vs. the
redundancy of two engines, or four, the light weight of a 2-stroke vs.
a 4 stroke's longer TBO, the cost of a Rotax vs. a Continental (how
many people can afford a 0 SMOH Continental these days?) My
compromise these days is I fly single cylinder 2-stroke ultralights
and I don't fly over anything I can't land on... but when I owned a
Taylorcraft with a certified Continental engine I once had an engine
failure on takeoff (engine failure, not my fault)... no matter what
you fly, if you fly long enough, sooner or later the engine's gonna
stop turning.
