For private flying a bonanza is so far ahead of a 210 its just not funny. No dodgy plastics or rattles in the cabin, quality finish all around, easy access via double rear doors, The satisfying clunk when you shut the door is bit like my '77 merc 350SLC and there is MUCH less noise from the slipstream in flight than any 210 i ever flew.

All up a bonanza feels and flies like a baron.

If you cant keep the nosewheel off on touch down you are simply too fast. Apparently common when you first get in one, until you start to relax and have a bit of faith in the wing at lower airspeed. As for CofG you should be more worried about aft CofG when full up than fwd CofG when not.

210 = holden crumbledoor
Bonanza = mercedes

Simply no competition IMHO.
