Rarity or lack of knowledge of that aircraft's characteristics on the part of today's new controllers.
That applies double, if you're landing at an airport that you normally don't visit occasionally.

Those same controllers wouldn't know a 195 if I wrote them a book...trust me I have never had a problem and keep my speeds up at larger airports. You might want to advise the whole 195 club roster as we all use Cessna Businessliner on callup because that is what we are flying...it isn't my problem if the controller doesn't know a 195 from a Spruce Goose....but you miss the point...there is no practical funtional difference between my airplane and a Cessna 400 Businessliner as far as traffic control goes...so there is no reason to go into a War and Peace explanation to a controller trainee...
