What differences do you want to contrast? Performance wise, I can out climb and out run a M20C in my O-200 powered KR. However, it's not a huge difference. If you are asking about load capacity, the Mooney will haul a load (like a second person). The KR won't. If it's the fun factor, the KR is a whole lot more fun to fly. I ticked over 718 hours on my KR yesterday. I still fall in love with this plane and how much fun it is to fly every time I light it up. When you go to a fly in, the KR will be the one with a crowd of people admiring it, but the Mooney will get you there in comfort.
