The biggest difference I find in the low wing aircraft is how much brighter it is in the cockpit without the huge sun shade the Cessna wings make. But, I do love looking down and miss some of the great view I get in the low-wing planes. I also like being able to open the windows on the Cessna. But, I might have to give the low wing planes another try. I like many pilots did most my training in Cessna aircraft and have only limited low wing experience (Diamond and Piper aircraft).

Perhaps it is just the airplanes that I have flown, but the Archer felt much better than the 172s that I have experience with. It probably helps that all of the Archers are 180 hp (many of the 172s are 160), and those gas shocks on the main gear make your landings seem a lot better sometimes. :-) I agree, and have posted similarly just now as well.
