I've owned a 160hp RV-6 with a fixed pitch propeller for coming up on four years. It really is a great airplane, but today, a friend let me fly his 180 hp RV-6 with a constant speed propeller. WOW!! That could really get addicting fast. His plane has all EFIS for flight information. I found myself searching for things, but after 20 minutes or so, it was starting to work for me. Both airplanes are the same in flight except for the performance difference.
 
Agreed.

Although mission dependent, if I had to budget for only 1 item above "plain vanilla" it would be a C/S prop.
