Hi Lewis.. You say you still fly recreational. What are you currently flying? I own a 2 seat Jabiru that I fly out of Gawler in Adelaide. Have not flown it for a rew months due to the bad weather and really hot days. My aircraft doesn't like the heat a great deal, and I am not a lover of rough air when flying for fun. I like the cooler months for flying and I tend to not be as busy with work. Come from a flying family and first learnt in tail dragsters. Dad owned an J4 Piper Cub that is now in a flying museum in Queensland. I also flew Drifters for a while and Microlights. Real seat of ya pants flying. Now I like a bit more comfort. I wanted a heater and a cup holder in my aircraft and a few more mode cons like transponder and glass cockpit flight computer. Still have mainly steam gauges as I don't rely on the computer, but it does add with additional backup and conformation of fuel burn etc...
