Rich, I completely understand your reasoning, but I don't buy into it. If you don't get mine, it's okay, that's what makes countries great.

No doubt the structure can handle the eventual 1400 pound GW of later models, but for me the extra fuel or passenger weight was a plus since hardly anyone fits the FAA 170 # std wt. anymore. For me the legality factor was important in case of an accident event or rare case of a ramp check. I also want to assure the a/c is legal as part of my general piloting responsibility and to assure my CFI is not in jeopardy.
