To Larry:
I guess it would depend on your geographical location. I fly EMS in the "Great White North" and our average sector length is 120 nm, with some sectors in excess of 200. Icing is also a real problem from November to April , having an aircraft that could handle ice and get out of the weather would be a big plus. For IFR being able to pick alternate airports that aren't being influnced by local weather systems would also be a plus.
