Thanks, bose-x, I am far from underestimating the PA-46 family and am not going anywhere near them until I have IR(A). I'm just beginning my research early, put it this way...
Needless to say, a very good point about them being unsuitable for low-level VFR bimbling. I sat inside a Matrix (on the ground, sadly) and must agree that the outside visibility isn't great. I had no chance to test other points, e.g. fuel burn at low level, but it all makes perfect sense.
