The eclipse will be the corporate/private pilot’s nightmare.With restricted load, fuel and legs you will always be flying on the edge of the envelope. Good side is your mental maths will soon be up to speed.

Stick with something like a TBM700, piloting is pretty straightforward, good range, great speed and most impressively maintenance is very cheap.

Also look at a SKA 200, bit pricey, good loads, good legs, bit slow and unfortunately a little heavy on the maintenance and reliability side, but worth considering
