The GlaStar's cruise speed has it nearly running with the "big boys," yet its fatality ratio beats most of the lightweight low-and-slow airplanes.

The GlaStar and Sportsman also tend to be a bit nose heavy, and unless you have an unusual aft-CG condition, you may run out of elevator in the landing flare.
