Don't understand why you do not like the Comanche, better looking than the Saratoga or Lance and will carry more weight than a R114. Our Comanche flew to Australia and back in the 1969 race. Also if it was good enough for the two famous long distance fliers - Max Conrad and Sheila Scott, it must be a good a choice for European touring. Actually nobody has mentioned the Robin DR500/200 which is like the DR400/180 but with wider cockpit, better panel and ventilation and a VP prop for short strips.
Few in UK and about 90k second hand, but you may get one in europe.
