Consider a Maule
Consider looking into the nosegear versions of a Maule. Although they have the reputations for having fit and finish that is a little on the rough side, they are extremely sturdy, you get a lot of airplane for the $ and they fly well. The parts cost is much less than w/ a Cessna or Piper. An added bonus is you can actually call the factory and talk to people there.
Get one w/ the Lycoming O-540 and you will be amazed at the climb rate/angle. We sold our Maule M5-235 several years ago and I regret it everyday.
