340a
I respect your opinion of the Beach line being well made and sturdy, no one can argue with that, but the twin Cessna’s are a fine group of aircraft also. The 340 is my pick, 200kts cruise, pressurized and 36 GPH fuel flow. The 340 is tight but comfortable while as the Baron is claustrophobic. Most Dukes I see are in the hangers having their engines worked on, I understand that is a generalization, but there does seem to be a trend for high maintenance on those power plants. In honesty I have to admit that the twin Cessna requires a fair amount of maintenance also, I have come to accept this as part of owning a 30 year old aircraft. But in comparison to a $350,000 twin engine reliable aircraft that flies at 200kts pressurized, what are the options?
My comment above about seeing the Dukes in the hangers is because I was bringing my 340 in for maintenance too.
