Cessna Denali V PC12

Are Cessna being deliberately conservative with the performance specs of the up comming Denali.
It has an engine claimed to use 30% less than the "nearest competitor", yet the Denali has less range with the same fuel as the PC12.
Speeds, weights, dimensions etc all seem very close to identical as the PC12.
So what's the supposed advantage, why would somone put up money for an aircraft that they wont get for a couple more years when the PC12 can do it now.
