If you aren't planning long flights over water, have a look at a PA32. As Geoffrey Boot wrote in a Flyer article a couple of years ago, "The Thinking Man's Twin"
The retracts give you twinish performance for about 15-6 gph - its is after all a single engined Seneca.

As for taking the advice of Mr Boot it was he that loaded a PA34 outside the FWD C of G limits for a flight test some years back and then went on say that he ran out of elevator on landing !.

The Seneca's out if you're operating from grass as the prop clearance is almost zip - remember the Newmarket crash last year. The Duchess, Seminole and Cougar are much of a muchness except the Cougar is very cramped if you're 6 ft or more. The Baron is fun but expensive as is the 310.

Have a look at the PA-23 Aztec, an older machine but very reliable, and quite rugged for off-pavement ops. Plenty of room inside, but definately not the fastest steed around. Also very short field requirements, and gentle handling for the lower time MEL pilot.
