I heard they are phasing them out of production with plenty of leftover 2010's around. Cessna pitches it as their SUV of single engine planes so that is why I asked. Great plane for flying around FL/Bahamas, seats 6 and for short flights it looks like a good package.

I've flown the 172 172RG 182 206 and 400
The 400 is like none of them. All the others are easy to fly. The 206 was super easy to fly. Very docile. It's a heavy hauler and feels like a buss.
The 400 is a lambo on steroids. Everyone has their opinion on what they feel is safe. I feel with proper transition training and practice the 400 will be safe for me.
Also going for a 4 day cessna course with my plane to get some great training in 2 weeks

I truly am jealous! I thought I had "arrived" when I got into a Bonanza, but DAMN!

The cirrus has whats called their CAPS system (Parachute). Great to have but gives the wrong idea to novice pilots. Great to have, but if ever used the plan is no longer any good, but you have a good chance to survive
