This aircraft is a smart design comprising all the right specs. The right engine, payload, range, speed, pressurization and materials. It's the answer to, "why doesn't somebody make an airplane like that?" It pulls together current technology in a way many wish everyone would or could, instead of 50-year-old stuff. Someone designed and made available a small private plane of today, with the things of today, with all the advantages of today's technology. That doesn't happen much anymore.

@357sps Just go look at a Piper's website. New Meridians start at just over $2,000,000. Most used ones are going for over $1,000,000.
