I would say weight. As I was shopping, I found too many Ercoupes that claimed a 930 to 950 empty weight. With that weight and 144lbs of fuel, we are limited to a 166 lb passenger and baggage limit. Since I weigh 215, that sure took them from consideration! Even with the 1320 STC, I would barely be able to carry my GPS and headset.
