Comparing a DA 50 to a G-62 is like comparing a Ferrari to a Mack Diesel. I am sure that some combo of prop will allow a DA 50 to put our more power than a standard g-62 but I think the g-62 will still be running great when the DA has bitten the dust. Please don't compare a lightly loaded IMAC plane with a 50 to a warbird with a g-62. They are totally different beasts. The local 3d guys in our club just don't have a clue as to how much different the two types of planes fly. I quess that's why you will see posts on RCU from the 3d guys knocking those warbird guys who "just do nothing but low passes". Totally different performance envelopes!
