Is an airplane that cruises at 185 knots really considered a "performance" airplane as the video refers to them? Okay I see the Cesna cruises at 235 knots so that's better.
Jamie, can you imagine the smile on your face flying 405 knots in an L-39 Albatros? And they cost almost HALF of that Cessna.

I would take the SR22 hands down. I have flown both, and we owned 2 Cirrus Sr22's. The main reason I would take the Cirrus over the Cessna is comfort. The cabin/cockpit in the Cirrus is much much larger and so is the entry door. I feel like you have to be a bit of a contortionist to get out of the Cessna. The door sill starts just above your waist when you are sitting down in the Cessna; in the Cirrus the door sill is much lower and closer to the wing. Plus the opening is much larger. Another thing about the Cessna is interior space, if you put a big guy next to you, you will be shoulder to shoulder. The The Cirrus has more room up there. This is extremely important for me if I am going to be in the air for more than an hour.
Yeah the Cessna is faster, but the Cirrus is plenty fast. The Garmin package is almost the same. The Cessna uses the G1000, and the Cirrus uses the Garmin Perspective which is really an offshoot custom G1000 but is slightly more capable and user friendly (studying it more they might be the same). You can also order the Cirrus with EVS which is awesome.
Another big minus for the Cessna is no Golf bags. I would fit 2 large golf bags in the baggage compartment of the Cirrus with no problem.
Center stick would be less comfortable on a long trip.
