OK, here is an argument that no-one seems to have explored that may appeal to AK and the AOPA crowd: Are you aware of the standards of some of the foreign crews who fly heavy metal into oz? I'm not going to name names, but I'm sure somebody will help you out if you ask around (alternatively, just go to an air accident site and have a look at the recurring names).
Do you really want to be in the same airspace without a clearance as these guys?
