Yes, you're right, I didn't notice any difference in a PA 28 as well. But on the other hand, I was present when the owner of a well-known flying school refused to buy the Tomahawk (what means trama?) because it would drop the nose when an unaware student would flare it. Might have been because the T-tail is not blown by the prop, don't know. Maybe we just don't notice a difference simply because we can handle it intuitively, maybe others can't? And if I was told correctly the Cessna Cardinal is special because they set the cabin forward, the front seats in front of the new cantilever wing, making for an unusually forward C/G position. Besides it's a shoulder-winger so the C/G moves forward (relative to the wing) with more pitch.
