Flight ratings are slightly different between the US and NZ. Here once certified for a simple single you can fly any simple single? In NZ, we have to get a rating on each model, and it can be quite specific - a rating on a 172 from the 80s doesn't apply to the new 172 models from 2000 on etc. We don't have a "complex" rating as such, because you have to be rated in each aircraft, so while I can fly a twin with retractable gear and variable pitched props, I do not have a complex rating - I'm just rated in 2 twins.
I'd like to get a Cirrus SR22T, or a Diamond 62. Am torn between them. I wish the Diamond was just a bit faster.

Nice!
The SR22T is a nice aircraft...I'm not that familiar with the Diamond so I'll have to look it up. I have a buddy on the east coast with a fleet of commuter SR22Ts on the east coast. If I remember correctly, they operate about 50 or so of that airframe and a smattering of others. The SR22T is, by far, his fav plane to operate.
