We're thinking of downsizing to below 3500 kg (I've done the treadmill test once!) and one possibility is a Pilote 696D. The Evidence spec looks a very good deal, but I notice that the quoted 520kg payload is the same as for the Expression spec - so, unless they've found a way to make awnings, solar panels etc weightless, it looks like you need to take the weight of the Evidence extras off the quoted payload. (And yes, I know claimed payloads are not always accurate anyway!)
I did find a technical listing with the additional weights of some (but not, I think, all) of the extras included, although I can't now find it on Pilote's rather "eccentric" website. But is there anyone with a Pilote Evidence who has taken it on a weighbridge and found the real world payload?
