I'm afraid the Kingairs won't count. They are either 5,700kg or 6,800kg and that's a tad below the 10 tonne requirement. Also I think the Beech 1900 might miss out as it's a 19 seater. All of which is a pity as they are more "complex" than the mighty Shed that does qualify.

You'd have to look at bigger bizjets than the Citation Bravo. Probably a good start would be the Hawker 800XP. That comes in at 12.8 tonnes.
Again the irony with the likes of the Bravo, the Citation XLS and the Hawker 400XP (aka Beechjet 400/Mitsubishi Diamond) is that they don't qualify whereas the simple to operate Shed (Shorts 360) does.

Dash 8's, Saab 340's, Embraer 135-145's, CRJ's all qualify for short haul. You'd probably have to go to the Bae 146 for direct long haul.
