I'll second that. We fly a 336 on our marine survey, occasionally interspersed with a 337. The sight picture difference is striking, especially at the speeds we use on the survey tracks. 100 knots is the target ground (or over-the-water) speed; to maintain that going downwind, the nose is honked up to where you can barely see over it.
Back to the question at hand: the 336 is the perfect airplane for low, slow survey work or sightseeing, but if I wanted an airplane to actually go somewhere, I'd get a 337.
