MIA is fine, have been issues in the past but I wouldn't hesitate to use it and frequently do.

Fuel is as per stated organize to avoid a crippling call out fee.

Good grass tie down area 100m from GA terminal/aero club, tie down cables provided, ignore the sign stating automatic sprinklers, they are manual so shouldn't be a case of a free wash.

No landing/parking fees for private ops at least of a month ago.

Good aircraft security.

If you wanted to avail yourself of a taxi through aircraft hangar to avoid leaving your aircraft in the sun contact the airport manager (not the ARO) and he might be able to organize a short term rate.

Much shorter drive into town than Wentworth.

Longer sealed runways as opposed to gravel/natural surface, less prop damage.

Not trying to dis Wentworth, just offering a balanced view.
