I have some time in 22s!

I think the cabin is better; after all it was built for fat Americans.

It is 10 knots faster at a sensible fuel burn.

It can be fiki and the r9 avidyne is better than the g1000.

More to the point everything is tried tested and proven technology - even caps.

As an aircraft ignoring totally the cost of operation I think the cirrus is marginally and I mean marginally better factor in the engines and the margin is more significant.

All that said there is still something special about a twin which you can only feel and not explain.
