As I said I have flown both types and find the 135 much more pilot friendly.
Good if you're paying. But the pax usually do that and they don't like the harsh ride so much.

140 kts? That's the gear limiting speed of a 109. We have to slow down from the cruise to 140 kts to put the gear down as airbrakes.

And who ever heard of a corporate aircraft with skids?
