I am not "having a go" at Mooney. I like the aircraft.
As to values I was comparing a Turbo Cirrus with a Turbo Cirrus but an Ovation 2GX M20R with a Ovation 3GX so in fact it is to the Mooney I am being generous because the Ovation is a later and "better" aircraft. The Ovation is quicker and more economical but its cabin is a much cosier place to spend time together - as I said horses for .. .. ...
Cirrus do produce a jelly mould aircraft and I suspect any volume manufacturer would do so today. The economies of scale are significant. Moreover, I suspect a jelly mould aircraft will prove safer in an accident given the reaction of the material to impact and the ability of the designers to readily match the material to their needs. F1 designers use composite for a reason - and you can bet the cost is not a factor.
