Yea but my point was that one could take an existing piston twin, picked up relatively cheaply with lifed engines, do the works on it by doing a TP conversion, fit swanky avionics for a lot less money than say a TBM. One could have a real go places, go fast, "as new" aeroplane?
I'd quite like one of these:
And wouldn't cost much more than an Extra 500. Out performs the TBM700 in many areas (half the runway for starters).
