If I have about $100k to replace my 337, which should I buy and why?

[n86121]

My current RSTOL 337 got hit by a tornado. It MIGHT get totalled. Don't know yet.

I operate from a 2,665ft runway surrounded by trees in a valley (www.Potomac-Airfield.com).

I take out the 3rd row for luggage

Two adults, two adult sized teenagers (Plus two cats, one dog, two violins, one cello, etc).

The turbo makes it fast at altitude, the RSTOL lots of margin for short field.

Most flying to date has been scenic shoreline trip to beach house in NC. ~250 km each way

Ive had the airplane 20+ years. Perfect condition (except for wind damage).

Basic avionics, stormscope and shadin. Moving maps etc is/was going to be next.

Realistically, I've rarely flown it much above 10k ft.

What are the pros and cons of going pressurized? Is maintenance much higher? Insurance?

Your thoughts appreciated.
