Just to be contrary, I've never flown one -with- toe brakes!

Great aeroplanes.

The difference between the 160 and 180 is really only noticeable if you want to operate at MAUW from grass.

With the 160 you want to do the calks; the extra 20 bhp makes the bigger one a bit more comfortable at shorter strips when operating at or near MAUW.

The nosewheel bit is not an issue as long as you know what the score is.
