Having flown 3 (2 of them monowheels) I know that they aren't really a
problem to land, but:

You can use the BRS on the ground (serious overrun problem)...

Take a look at the latest AAIB bulletin on the Robin/Robin midair over kent
(both white aircraft above the cloudbase in 1 okta)

We think it's a cheap form of insurance. Worth the cost of the aircraft, in
fact, when you really need it!
