I find the "poling " comment a bit bizarre, what does it mean? It's perfectly possible to fly a TB 20 in small circles with significant angles of bank should you so desire, but it's primarily an IFR go places machine which is what OP said he wanted. It's streets ahead of the Archer 2, which I used to own, in all except short field performance. It's also better than an Arrow, but not as good as a Bonanza or Saratoga.
