Doesn't Cirrus have at present a 5,000 hour airframe limit? Yeah, I know
that is supposed to change, but what if it doesn't?

As I understand it, a Cirrus has a much more roomy cabin, 100 lbs higher
useful load, no retractable landing gear to maintain, is 10
kts slower, and costs $100,000 less. Why would anyone buy a Mooney?

Heck, a new Cirrus costs less than a recently used Mooney. Who here would
pick a two year old Mooney over a brand new Cirrus?

Mooney puts out a comparision worksheet at
http://www.mooney.com/PDFS/ovationcomparison.pdf. I note they don't list
cabin
dimentions.

P.S. Sorry this sounds so much like a troll. But unless you hate
fiberglass it seems an easy decision.
