Adam I am surprised that you have made such a statement, as you reported elsewhere you bought an AC and after throwing mega bucks at it you have still yet to get it serviceable, it leaks and the floorboards are covered in gunk or bathroom sealant. You have reported a never ending series of woe and there are yards of abandoned Turbo Commanders in similar condition with run out engines, old outdated avionics, autopilots and flight directors. I've flown them from the old 520 to the 1000 which I found tended to 'tuck under' when decending at close to VMO. Yes they are nice to fly but they are not best in class as you have found out to your cost.
