Always assumed the T6 II was a pimped up PC-9.
Both the T6 and the PC-21 were flown as part of the ETPS selection process​​​​​​ about 5 years ago. The PC-21 was assessed to be far better for the course’s needs. That doesn’t necessarily say that the T6 isn’t good, it just didn’t do what was assessed to be necessary for ETPS.
