Default Pegasus or ....?

I'm looking to move up a level from my ASW 15. Ideally, I'd like an LS
4 but they are few and far between. A couple of Pegasuses (Pegasi?)
are listed on W&W and seem to be reasonably priced for what you get. I
am in the US and am aware of the 3000 hr issue but don't fly enough
for that to be a factor with the ones I've seen. After looking through
the RAS archives it seems that parts and support were/are an issue.
The most recent of these posts are from 2003. Can I assume that
support hasn't gotten any better? What are you Pegasus drivers
experiencing these days?

As an aside, my ASW 15 had an Experimental certificate when I bought
it. The original owner had a water ballast system installed and the
certificate changed from Standard to Experimental. The system had been
mostly removed when I bought it. I finished the process and had the
certificate changed back to Standard. My questions are 1) how
difficult is it to make the change from Standard to Experimental? and
2) wouldn't this make repairs a little less difficult?

Anyone have a nice LS 4 they are willing to part with?
