David,   just saw your post about the p210....and your luck at avoiding it.

...was wondering if you had considered something bigger.   The p210 is really a 4-place + dog airplane with really anemic climb.
I had considered one for 1-2 people travel but concluded I would either get a p210R (pricey) or a T210 for performance reasons.

What about a T310R?   6 real seats and climb to spare.   Currently going for $150K to $200K for a nice one.
no pressurization, and that sucks, but I don't see a comfortable seriously 6-place airplane out there with pressure unless you go to a 414 or a 421.
Baron's a too small I think.
....Malibu maybe.    or jet-prop or Meridian.   all of those are range challenged.
Aero-star not big enough inside.

The problem with the lancair is you can never get your money out of it.   but the flip side is spam cans are exceedingly cheap, especially twins.
My solution was to get a bad weather family spam can (TR182 with tks) and keep the lancair for me.
I'm feeling a little T210 envy right now but we'll see how the economics pan out.  I was betting the TR182 would be 30% cheaper to fly.
I was a big pressure bigot until I realized that I mostly fly alone and the number of times I fly with passengers AND have to go above 12000 is not that
great.   We'll see if they concur with me a year from now....   I had to go to fl200 with the TR182 on the way back from OSH and didn't think it was
so bad as I had imagined.
