It's not a matter of where the wing is but how it is designed. The low wing Tecnam Sierra is also very stable and enjoyable for cross country. You just need to test fly anything you are looking at on a bumpy day and see how it does.
Oh, and DA-20s are nice *if* you can stand the seats.

Thank you all for your responses, especially you Helen, because the plane which was the focus of my conversations at the FBO was a Sportcruiser which is for sale. My colleagues don't like it either. I'm thinking the high-wing crafts *might* display more stable characteristics but it probably depends on the individual manufacturer.
A Diamond DA-20 C1 would seem to hold up well in mild turbulence. One pilot tells me that it out-flys a C-172.
thanks, Mark
