joliver,
I fly Beech1900D's, and can say and agree with all mad_jock.
Too bad turbo-props took the hit after the RJ craze that started in the mid to late nineties.
Although not an expert on the SAAB/EMB120 facts, I think the first A series SAAB made were a disappointment on many levels.
Saab rectified this by putting out the B version which was a lot better.
Comparing the 340B to the Brasilia, you will find that SAAB is more EFIS than the EMB.
Performance wise, there is little difference i think.
Now if you ask me about my favorite Turbo-prop, it will have to be the SAAB2000 and that is where my nickname comes from.
It is the best performing turbo-prop out there, climbs to FL310 and has a max cruise of 365 KTS and carries 50 pax.
Even with Bombardier and their Dash8Q400, the SAAB2000 still has that special place in my heart.
