There are others: BE76, PA 44 to name but two others. The DA42 does not necessary increase the first time pass rate.

I didn't mean to doubt you, it was just difficult to decipher what it is that you're saying. I have no opinion on this myself, I don't have any experience on either of machines, but as someone who is looking forward to my own ME/IR in a not too distant future, I'm genuinely curious. You mentioned airmanship, trimming, situational awareness, capacity (mental, I suppose?) can you not demonstrate/develop these skills on a DA42, if so - why?
