Everyone has such different opinions on winter IFR without FIKI I hope SATSair comes up north just for the case study.
I doubt you'll ever find any new production singles(recip) with FIKI. I'm not sure, but were the C-210's available with FIKI equp? I know Flight Express flies them.
BTW, What you mention is just part of the job. Make you decisions, and hope you made the right one, but be ready to explain your actions if someone else thought it was the wrong one.
