To P or not to P, that is the question

Thanks for the great replies.

I think a trip to SnF would be a must before I buy, although I probably will not get out there this year.

My typical mission is Denver to Atlanta, just about 1000nm on the dot, and I would like to make it eastbound non-stop. That means high altitudes for both fuel efficiency and tailwinds, as well as LOP operation. Other missions include the Bahamas and some westbound travel from Denver, as well as "flightseeing".

As Denver residents we are acclimatized to 5000ft, and frequently drive/hike/bike/ski above 10,000 ft with no ill effects, which is not the case for people who reside at sea level. Therefore, we are a little more capable of hanging out at high altitudes, be that 12k w/o pressurization, or 20k w/ cabin pressurized to 10k as would be the case with a P337.

I guess I am just trying to figure out the maintenance and insurance hits. So far, from your inputs, they don't seem to be showstoppers.
