Silver knapper
I have about 200 hrs on the Baron 55 and loved it for its character and handling but normally aspirated engine out and you get a ceiling of around 7000 feet not good over high mountains.
The Seneca five does not have the pilots delight of handing qualities of the Baron but it is a safe and stable instrument platform!
The Seneca five appeal over the Baron is its amazing ability to maintain altitude at over 16000 feet engine out which is not matched by many light twins!
I have a lot if time on the Seneca and see them
Very much as a trusted friend which has flown through everything and anything!
They are docile creatures which will let you get away with murder!
Offer me a choice between a Baron 58 or Seneca Five and I would choose the Seneca but I am biased
