OK, more seriously:

Some Senecas are pretty good all-rounders; avoid those which have been thrashed by flying schools and the V with it's shocking DOW/MTOW. The handling is never better than OK, and at low speed is, in my view, only just reasonably certifiable (hence all the landing accidents).

The Baron is a delight. Do not buy one if you open and read your bank statements because you have to.

If you have a load to carry and want to feel proud, bite the bullet and buy a Navajo.

To join one of the happiest bands of owners I've met, go for the Twin Commanche, but accept that it is a machine which focuses on range, not payload. The owners club is a must.

A GA7 is very nice, albeit slow, but good ones are VERY hard to find.

Avoid all the modern stuff; it's down to a price and a weight, not up to a standard.
