Ang737,
Same in the UK - you need to do the CPL on a complex single, not necessarily something as high spec as a C210.
I think what Quicksilver means is he wants to be licenced to fly the 206/210 - however he is mistaken as you do not need a separate rating to fly it (or any other piston single with the exception of the PA46) - they are all covered by the Single Engine Piston Landplanes rating. You just need to be signed out by an instructor as having been taught the 'differences' from the type you are used to flying. This may or may not involve flying the thing - I think it is at the instructor's discretion.
cheers!
foggy.
