You won't find me ever flying into weather in any Piston Cessna.
They have spars which are not good for such stuff.
Beechcraft have much stronger spars. I think every one up to and including a King Air is based on a real solid carry-through design.
I used to fly into real bad stuff for a cargo place which was too cheap to spend the extra bucks to have us go around. We flew DC-3s, Beech 18s, and Barons.... The owner had a whole lot of time inside storms most of us have never seen the likes of. The man was adamant about Cessnas.
Personally, I do my very best to avoid any of that crap now.... There are some who don't care. For those people, there is Beech.
