Perfect! I saw the post on this website about the total length and the extra baggage area room, but could not ascertain the distribution of where. Thank you very much!

I’m new to this site, so if I’ve misused it by posting this because it’s somewhere else, please accept my apology in advance. As my handle suggests, I am now shopping J models (after a year plus of shopping straight tail Debs...and over half my flying time in Bs). The speed/efficiency and value on Mooneys is...which I still look over my shoulder as I say it...better than I’ll be able to afford with the Beechcrafts. Let’s be clear-short of a BE36, this is going to be uncomfortable on any appreciable distance. I get it. I’m 6’6”, my wife is 5’7”, I have a 6 year old, and one on the way. Most of my flying is solo, but 20% or less with more than just me on board. My main question is where is the 10” stretch between the C and the J located? I’ve tried to figure this out with the best of Google research, but can’t. How bad am I shorting the kids in the back? I get they’ll grow so they’ll run out of room, but say for the next five to seven years, is going for a spotless C versus an average J doable or completely stupid? Thanks in advance for any insight.
