Like the Cessnas you mention, the Archer is pretty bulletproof. But for the same money you could get something with real character like a Hornet Moth. A bit slower, engine needs a bit of TLC, but you'd have a proper head-turner. That's oomph in my book. Or you could wait fo Van Grunsven to bring out his long awaited 4 seater - the RV10 or whatever it will be. If that goes to form (and the formbook pretty much guarantees that it will) you will have an all-things-to-all-men aeroplane that will ove grass strips and have as much performance oomph as you could ever wish for. It'll maybe take you 5 years to build it though...
