Lets compare your plane to mine with the O-320-D1F:

            Yours    Mine
           ------   ------
Empty      1,300    1,157
Pilot        150      250
Spouse       125      180
           ------   ------
Total      1,575    1,587

So who is worse off? And I bet your health is better.
Because of aft CG, I am restricted to 20 lbs of baggage.
Of course I am on a diet.
