Good to know. I'm at around 2700ft where I fly, same temps as you. I will probably buy the turbine last. I have a 140 and a 170 that I can mock up in the plane toward the end to get an idea of final weight. Knowing me, anything over 22-23lbs dry and I will probably want more than a 140. A 160 would only be a $200 difference and 1/2lb weight penalty for almost 5lbs more thrust
