Agree. Go the C206 - at least for the purposes you've got in mind. That said, if I had the spare cash for a personal aeroplane, it'd be a Bonanza for sure (it's a Beechcraft - 'nuff said); beautiful handling, good performer, etc. However, as already mentioned, not the most practical aeroplane for bush ops. The C206 may not be as pretty or as fast, but it's a good workhorse - and a proven aeroplane.
