"...Also can not quite imagine why anyone would pick a single over a twin, if given the option, provided we're comparing something remotely similar (such as a Seneca to a Saratoga). Apart from being "more airplane", there's also the increased safety when flying over water, rugged terrain, on top, at night or IFR."

Here's your own answer:
"Unfortunately entirely out of reach economically... Oh well."
Jesus, what is this thread about? Asking a stupid question and then giving the obvious answer?
