Seems to be a lot of traffic about the Cirrus even though OldM8 specifically asked about the LancAir.

Having flown one (a 36) a couple of times doesn't make me an expert, but it seems to me that the biggest issue is the narrow envelope between the stall speed and the VFe.

Twenty knots isn't a lot and it demands a meticulous control of approach speed.
If you're up to that (and your experience resume suggests you are), then the aircraft is both manageable and a delight to fly.
Coupled with that is the reality that it is economical and will pretty much show its tail to any of the GA light twins like the Baron and 310.
So, if you only want to fly yourself and perhaps an occasional pax (who needs to a good friend) then its a top machine.
