The product support for the PN68 is not the best and if you need the aircraft for business this may give you a problem.
It would seem that raw power is what you need and i suspect that this will also be in short supply on the PN68 ,I would sugest that the 56TC barron would be the end to the performance problems.
It is fitted with the lycoming TSIO-540 power plant that was also destind for the duke and because the this was pressurised it had BIG turbos fitted , too big in fact for the barron so it spills most of the air over the side ! but this still leaves you with stunning performance.
Beech and lycoming product support is as good as you are as you will find in the industry but lycoming will not overhaul the engines fitted to the 56TC however they will exchange them for a later model when the time comes for the overhaul so have this in mind if you intend to buy one of these fine aircraft.
