Is Cessna looking at it as a huge shortcut to building (and just adding
overnight) composite aircraft to their piston single lineup? I personally
like the Columbia line, if I had an extra half million laying around I
would
love to have a 400.

Cessna likes the Columbia, too, and they will continue producing the
aircraft. The interesting thing is that the Columbia production facility
is bigger than the Cessna piston facility in Independence. Yet it is
producing far below capacity, while the Independence facility has been
almost completely taken over by the Mustang. Cessna has only one
production line left open for piston singles despite the fact that they
have a backlog of several years' worth of orders.

You do the math and see what conclusion you come to. Personally, if I
worked at Cessna building piston singles, I would be house-hunting in
Oregon already, before things become a little tight.
