It is a bit strange to exhume a three year old thread. Yes, a comparison of the magnificent Lancair to other high performance aircraft is a valid wish, but, as long as many countris don't allow non-certified aircraft IFR, useless. Example, I was pax in an Evolution Turbine in the US once, was stunned by the perfekt machine, understand very well why they demand HPA and IR for it and no, it is no option to get one to Europe, where EASA says day VFR only.
