Lots of people slate spam-cans, but in my years of having a share in a Warrior I found it great. Took it into short grass strips, toured Europe. Stable IF platform. 5 hours endurance and loads of baggage space. No vices for the average or low-hours pilot, simple to maintain.
Having changed to an Archer I've no reasons to suspect that's going to be any different - same wing, just bigger engine. It's that wing that makes all the difference - I wouldn't want an earlier PA28 with the slab wing.
Other than that though - my choice would be the DR400 too.
