What I am thinking about is something with more speed (who doesn't!) but
still has reasonable maintenance costs. The typical trip for us is around
600 NM, usually just me, the wife and a small dog.


If you want to stick to Pipers, something in the PA28-235 line would be
a good choice. For a little more, move up to an older PA32-300. That
will give you a few more knots and a lot more room. I'm partial to the
PA32-300's myself, but the operating cost is significantly higher than a
PA28-180. I don't have as much knowledge about PA28-235s, but it would
be a relatively simple transition from a -180.
