Default RE: First plane: Alpha 40 or Alpha 60?

In the 90's I went to 60 for the reasons that Ken mentioned. But in recent years have drifted more towards 40's because they take up less space and use less fuel.

The difference in flying characteristics between a 40 and a 60 is not really significant enough to notice unless you are in the business of determining absolute flying characteristics.
