Brian,
I owned a Piper Tomahawk for several years, having just sold it to help pay for the engine for my -7A. I really enjoyed having it as it was always available when the weather was nice. Financially it probably didn't make a lot of sense once you add up the costs of annuals, tie-down, etc, but the convenience was worth it to me. Not too speedy, and I had to be pretty careful on the weight and balance (especially the "weight" part). I sold it for what I had paid for it. I would probably do it over again. My opinion- Don't be afraid of the Tomahawk. They are relatively roomy, good visiblilty, straightforward annuals, low fuel burn, etc. I never felt threatened by the oft-mentioned stall/spin characteristics. Good luck and fly safely!
