If you have been flying Cessnas, fuel management is a little more complex in this aircraft. To avoid the tank-switching trap, I keep my stopwatch rolling and also put reminders on my flight log, and note down the switch time. That way I know how much has been used in each tank when I arrive. The fuel system also has a boost pump. The aircraft is comfortable in cruise, and due to its weight and high wing loading, it busts through turbulence, sparing you of the normal sharp jolts that are all around at low altitudes during Texas summers.
Control feel is light, and the aircraft is easily trimmed for level flight.
The low wing doesn't get in the way very much for pilotage either, although high wingers offer an undoubtedly superior pilotage platform. Power on and power off stalls are docile. Just don't pull up too quickly in the recovery phase, because due to the light control pressures, it's easy to stall it again. Approach to the stall gives you lots of warning as the controls feel very mushy, and plenty of buffet can be felt in the power on configuration. Landing is where this aircraft shines.
