Not because of its flight characteristics. Though many pilot bends their firewalls on touchdown, due the nose heaviness of that aircraft. But a lot pilot likes it more because of more power, more speed, higher possible altitudes, constant speed propeller and the IFR-equipement. And that`s the reason - due to that it is much more challenging than the Cessna 172. Imagine beeing in a crowded area like KLAX, approaching the airportwhile listening to Radio calls every few seconds, watching speed, altitude, VOR-needles and the traffic around at the same time in bad weather condition - challenging! | Not because of its flight characteristics.
