Sportcruiser??? Are they not a bit fragile around the nose leg area?
As for the rest, I am 90 kgs clothed and some of my passengers are also. I will mainly fly UK/Northern France. Occasional IMC (yes I know most are prohibited). Yes, I accept hire is cheaper. Range should be at least 500 nm with reserves. Build quality and robustness are important. As is stability in turbulence.
Thinking at present, Aquila or Breezer. Presently fly Cirrus (group) & Bulldog (hire). Aeroplane mainly for me and I have over 10000 hrs.
Oh & I would like to operate off grass... not something a Cirrus is good at!
