Mooney sacrifices everything including cabin space/comfort, ergonomics and flying characteristics ( nice stall characteristics..NOT!) for a tiny gain in performance and economics. All in all what you give up for a bit of speed doesn't make up for the lack of everything else on a Mooney. And me being 6'4" doesn't help my opinion about Mooney's out very much either.
