So FTDK, so are you selling the V35B and moving over to the dark side?
No, the FTDK has become a Hangar Queen - awaiting a 100 hrly.

I am doing the owner of a newly imported IO550 powered C210N a favour by running it in for him. It is something of a challenge cause the run-in specs call for 70-75% power for the first 10 hrs. Those sort of power settings put "The Beast" way up into the yellow arc and make this risk averse pilot a little nervous. My answer to this problem is to lap it up the coast at 1000' over water in the morning when the air is cool and calm and being halfway up the yellow arc is (hopefully) a minimal risk!

This is one seriously quick aeroplane - but I suspect the margin for error is small!

It will be an interesting challenge for a long-time C172 pilot!
