I am looking at purchasing a new aircraft.

So far my choices have primarly limited to composite aircraft. I attached a few links for reference, not to compare the aircraft, but as an example of different types of glass construction. Two, of glass and and carbon fiber, and the Arion primarly of glass.

I really like the Arion Lightning, but would be interested in discussing construction techinques, and the ability of a primarly all glass aircraft to hold up over time?
