Personally I don't see the difference between saying one airplane is for fat people and the other airplane is for gay people. Both are pretty much equally uncalled for. How about we play nice?
But which plane is best for Hitler supporters?

i think by the time Hitler came into power it was more like Messerschmidts and Junkers.
The M20F that I used to fly was (and still is) co-owned by a friend of mine who's 6'6" and about Ed's build. He fit in it just fine. However, the F is the "wide-body" Mooney, which significantly improved space over the C model. Of course, that same pilot also fit fine in the M20C.
Commanders? Never flown one. I like going fast, so I wouldn't want one. But like everything else, it's about preference.
My Commander 115 (normal aspiration) was 150+ kt airplane, about the same as a Mooney F or J model. I was burning 4 - 5 more g/h to get it but you didn't say anything about economical, just fast. What that fuel burn bought me was the most comfortable cabin in the single engine piston universe which is how I managed to put 450 hours on it in the first year (wife liked it).
My experience with the J model Mooney is like another poster here - any time I was safety pilot for my bud I'd spend the flight with my arm around the back of his seat. We're a couple of 180 lb guys.
What is the best plane for fat, gay, Nazis ?
On the contrary, Bill:

Hoover flew the 114, as well.
You can visit us at http://www.commander.org Lots of information and the Forum, too.
Mine even has smoke!!
So it would seem that a 6'3" 250lb'er and a 6'1" 220lb'er both with perty broad shoulders probably wouldn't be too comfortable for too long? Even in a F model?

Which is obvious, given your choice of airplane.
