A much better looking plane though. When I went to F&S a couple of years ago looking for a plane, I sat in the SC mockup cockpit. That bar made plane a no-go for me - no knee room. The 601 is what I decided to build. That bar is pretty substantial. Based on what we now know about the weaknesses of the 601, that bar doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
