| Main trade-off | More cabin and payload than short-body Mooneys with strong efficiency, but ageing systems and modifications complicate valuation. | Excellent efficiency at a low purchase price, but fuel tanks, gear and decades of modifications require specialist inspection. | Bonanza handling and speed at a lower entry price, but modification and restoration quality dominate value. |
