  Move up to a C340 and you get pressurization.  Really very little more 
in initial cost than a T310R and essentially the same maintenance since 
pressurization requires very little in that department.  Lots of them 
out there for sale to choose from.  You can get air conditioning and 
known ice, too.  (Oh, did I mention, I have one for sale....)
