Englishal has a huge point and that is basically why Cirrus are selling new planes for best part of $750k (no kidding) when you could get the same capability for $100k, chuck another $100k to sort it out and throw some avionics in, and the $550k saved will pay for more flying than most humans would be able to do in the rest of their lives.
I think some new piston prices are obscene, especially when a Jetprop in good condition can be had for $1M, will totally and comprehesively beat an SR22 into dust on every parameter (except the BRS, and perhaps the extra training before you can get insured), will more than beat an SR22 (and perhaps every piston aircraft) into dust on straight mission capability, and anybody with 750k will have 1M.
A DA42 is a nice civilised plane which appeals to "modern" passengers. It is just a huge shame that they trashed the whole deal with their engines and their way of treating customers. Every DA4x owner I know would not trust the company as far as he can throw them.
