That's a good point, the two airplanes definitely are built around different piloting styles. The 6 is meant to take acro and hence is built stronger, with a correspondingly lower chance of exceeding limitations unintentionally. The 9 is meant for guys like me who have no intention of doing acro and just want a sweet XC ride. I think it boils down to the pilot knowing his limitations and those of the aircraft, more than anything else.

In trying to engineer an idiot-proof aircraft, all you'll do is engineer a bigger idiot.
