We can beat this subject to death forever and put forward as many arguments as there are stars in the sky.
However for someone like myself who is just a simple minded aircraft operator if I am to be faced with an engine failure at any altitude I'll take the aircraft with the best glide ratio every time.
The very worst scenario I can imagine flying a machine like that is having to wait a little longer for a safe landing rather than having to be super pilot with only a few seconds to display my exceptional skills just before I smack into the trees.
By the way how many of you here have used T effect to increase range during long over ocean flights?....... I have.
As long as we are sharing flying experiences what was your longest flight as a pilot flying the thing, mine was 19 hours and 10 minutes.
