Piaggio P180 vs. other turboprops

Not many P180's in this part of Europe, so I'm seeking information from owners/operators/pilots of this fine piece of machinery. The set up is:

Buy a (used) turboprop, preferably multi-engine, to seat at least 5 people comfortably with range to fly Scandinavia to southern Europe non-stop.
The candidates are B200, B350, P180, and perhaps a Citation if the figures work out. The A/C will be put on an AOC for charter when not flying for the owners.

I currently fly a PC-12 which could easily do the job, but it has one major disadvantage.

Anyone with operational information on the P180 willing to share ?
