What would really interest me (if I was flying a Euro reg plane) is how easy/difficult it will be to get a 1000-1999kg plane maintained by a freelance engineer.
They are generally the best people for getting a decent job done (because the buck stops right there) and this is one of the advantages of N-reg ownership. It's easier for the owner to be pro-active on maintenance and use different people for different tasks according to their different skills and honesty.
