Most types do. It's just that most aircraft out there are from a very short list of those types...

The L.E. heat is useful but I've used it only once since I started flying the NG.

It concerned me coming from another well known ice magnet type....

Basically, and it is just a basic statement, you get the most icing from 0' to -14'.

Yes, in the descent you do have a very cold air frame, but the leading edges are treated to TAT airflow, not SAT.

Keep the speed up and you can keep the ice away. A generalism maybe but it has always worked for me.
