I have been checked out on a TBM700c2 and I would be looking for a Cj or Cj1 in the correct price range. Why?

Because the support is so good. Which is exactly why I wouldn't buy an E500.

Of course I had this conversation 3 years ago with someone that was thinking about the A500 A700. They didn't listen to me and now they have an A500 door stop and a Cj1.
