TJS,
Likewise with the previous reply, don't know the exact cost but have heard they are somewhere around the US$2.3M mark?
I was actually in LA a few weeks back on a trip and had the pleasure of flying one (a good friend of mine operates it) and let me tell you they are fantastic little machines. And as LAVDUMPER said, the cockpit is glass (which you probably already know!). The avionics, displays, autopilot, Wx radar etc, etc are all very very good.
Couldn't say a bad thing about the Meridian, loved it - hey this is probably why you want one yourself!
