some of the most fun flying time I had was building the 100 or so after the ifr for the commercial (250). This is your chance to load up and go where ever you want just because you can. Also keep the expensive airplanes and excessive amount of dual down to a minimum and you can keep costs low. In the logbook as cirrus is no better than a 150. Glass cockpit means nothing. The only times that are all that special are actual, multi, turbine all followed by cross country pic.
