I was curious what owners of either the DF Dakota or one of the various PA-28 variants by Carenado think is the better choice.  By better, I mean the flight dynamics and fidelity to the real thing.  I'm sure some of you own both, and I'm curious to hear what you think.

My Dreamfleet experience is with their A36 Bonanza - good flyer, wonderful IFR VC.  With Carenado it's been Cessnas - all around good but usually only after the first patch.  I suspect this Dakota is very good 'cause it's modelled after the owner's personal plane.  The wheel pants are removable so it's just like the old '235'.

THIS IS NOT A PANAM CLIPPER

The Dreamfleet Dakota is very good. Personally I think the flightmodel is better than the Carenado ones.

Only problem with the Dreamfleet Dakota is that it is not compatible to vista 64 or windows 7 64.
