Considering where I live, I agree.

Hot starts were also a problem.
I got to ride in a 441 once. We are running light (I was one of two
passengers) and we had minimal fuel for a couple hour flight. We were
off the ground in very few seconds. As my dad owned a couple of
Cessnas, I'm pretty partial to Cessnas. (Piper evil, Cessna good).
