I just received my June 2004 copy of AOPA Pilot, and on page 64 is a nice article and picture of the Piper Arrow with the "Mistral G230-TS-B1A in a Piper Arrow III" caption underneath the picture of the Arrow. Nice write-up, touting the advantages of the rotary, being " promises of a 3000 hour TBO and overhauls costing half the price of a piston-engine overhaul. Other advantages include smooth operation, light weight, and high reliability". Just thought I'd pass this on for those who may not have seen it.
