Excelent topic. I vote for the Grumman AA-1 series because of its superficial resemblence to a 601XL and its inferior numbers. I admit that I have not flown it however. Consider  the following: AA-1 has three feet less wing, half again more wing loading,(XL=about 10, AA-1 15 to 15.5) and higher power loading. If you can fly that ground loving pig, you should have no problem with an XL with its nose wheel steering. I have flown about 45 types since 1957 and vote for the Comanche 250 as the hardest to land and still look good, Mooney Mk-21 next. I also owned a BE-23 and Luscombe 8A. Both do not deserve their bad reps and if you can find one, they will be good practice also. Get with a sadistic instructor in any of these, and a 601XL should be a walk in the park.
