Definitely no such thing as the perfect aircraft and the MTOW restrictions on LSAs mean than you're never going to get a C182 or Saratoga in the load carrying ability. That said, I'm no lightweight either but flying solo I get my 5.5-6 hrs endurance, 20 kg of baggage and a spare right seat in which to strap another 50 kg or so (if I could do so). It's true, though, that with a pax and 3.5-4 hrs of fuel, we'd both better have lightweight toothbrushes! Although my aircraft has been across the Tasman and around Australia, there are certainly times I'd be hiring the C182 for a comfortable trip. But for the frequent flights around the patch, the P2002 works well.
