I just transitioned from cessna's to pipers, here's what i have noticed so far:

1. the fuel of course
2. Alot less rudder needed
3. Alot smoother landings
4. Manual flaps
5. Stabalator
6. Anti-servo trim tabs
7. Cowling opens right up (great for preflighting), but make sure you latch it correctly
8. Could just be the Warrior, but seems like we always have a forward C.G (with two heavy guys up front, its likely you might have to add some weight in the baggage)
9. Blind spots (low wing vs. high wing)

hope that helps...im sure there's alot more i missed or forgot
