The safety thing would be my main concern.
There are very few GA aircraft which are good at weather. The ones which can handle real storm turbulence are almost all turboprops or jets....
Even Scott Crossfield met his maker this way. Light GA planes like Cessnas are just not up to handling convective weather. Some Beechcraft are much better at it, but I just don't think I would do any kind of real weather flying in a piston single anymore.... Too much can go wrong.
Plus-very, very expensive.
I loved GA when I did it, but it was all nice weather stuff. The bad weather stuff is just not much fun or very safe in those planes.
